  A voice said, Look me in the stars
And tell me truly, men of earth,
If all the soul-and-body scars
Were not too much to pay for birth.

I always fail to understand how Robert Frost managed to pen down so many gems. He is a genius.

What a question? Probably one of the hardest to answer in the cosmic world. Not sure if any of us could give an honest answer till the end but I am verging on Yes at the moment. I still don't know what's ahead, but the joys have been balanced with the terrible whippings thus far. Tai, hoping to even the score.

This poem is such a great example of the beautiful simplicity found in many of Frost's poems. I love it.

Four lines that evoke vivid images of suffering that in turn display the inevitable struggle of every long life. Beautifully said.
