    Stanza three is amazing.Frost does it again with his understanding of nature, verse and the human spirit.

    Frost's aim in life is to combine what he loves to do with making a living -in his own life he moved from a vocation -teaching -to his avocation, writing poetry.
    No wonder he is such a great poet, combing great insights with the most subtle poetic technique.

    The last paragraph is why poetry is written: So that someday, someone can write something as beautiful and insightful. It has the two great Frost traits: The depths it reaches into the human spirit, and the almost excessive discussion of nature.
