"We used to think...when I was an unsifted girl...that words were weak and cheap. Now I don't know of anything so mighty." -Emily Dickinson

Robert Frost and Vermont justice...
So some punk kids vandalized Robert Frost's summer home. Their punishment? Listen to lectures about his poetry. Read the article--I am not sure the well-intentioned plan worked. Also, I agree with one of the commenters--why did the professor pick "The Road Not Taken" and present it as a poem about making moral choices? Every semester, I have to work to convince my students of the obvious error of that interpretation...oh well.
