matter for discussion. In those days, everyone
knew how a family should be raised, and
aberrations such as divorce and abortion were
simply that: problems found only among h...

YVOR WINTERS The problem of judging [Emily
Dickinson's] better poems is much of the time a
subtle one. Her meter, at its worst that is, most
of the time a kind of stiff sing-song; her
diction, at its worst, is a kind of poetic nursery
jargon; and there is a remarkable continuity of
manner, of a kind nearly indescribable, between
her worst and her best poems. [" I like to
see it lap the Miles" ] will illustrate the
defects in perfection... / 283 / The poem is

Albert J. Von Frank The ominous thirteenth line of
Robert Frosts " The Gift Outright" is
made to appear all the more ominous by its entire
lack of tonal and grammatical relationship with
any thing else in the poem, an isolation
signalled, of course, by the parentheses. Almost
by itself this line justifies Frosts own
characterization of the poem as being " about
Revolutionary War, " rather than, in a more
general way, about the forming of a spiritual
commitment to the land. Om...
