characterized by the large palace-like buildings
that they created. These hu...

Frost Writes Mending Wall

A Look at the Theme of Separation in the Poetry of
Robert Frost The creation of borders and
boundaries has been around since the beginning of
civilization. The division of property and
possessions among individuals establishes a sense
of self-worth. The erection of fences and walls
keeps property separate. Walls also serve as a
means of separating worlds. Modern society demands
the creation, and maintenance of these boundaries.
In his poems, The Tuft of Flowers, and Mending
Wall, Robert Frost ex...

society drew away from the feudal system of the
Romanesque period, a new spirit of human
individualism began to take hold; alas, the birth
of Gothic. Here, the Church became a place where
humanity became more acceptable, alas becoming the
