Thanks, Frank, for linking to this posting. Beyond everything else it contains--fascinating and complicated--it contains a look at Frost's "The Road Not Taken," which I regard as a fascinating, complicated, and baffling poem because of its skewed logic and its ironic contradictions. The more I read the poem, and when I frequently attempt to "teach" this poem in classes, I become more and more fascinated and baffled. Sometimes I wonder if Frost understood what he was writing. In any event, read the poem carefully and--even with the posting to which you have linked--you will find plenty about which to scratch your head.
