Mending Wall - Poem by Robert Frost

Something there is that doesn't love a wall,
That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,
And spills the upper boulders in the sun;
And makes gaps even two can pass abreast.
The work of hunters is another thing:
I have come after them and made repair
Where they have left not one stone on a stone,
But they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
To please the yelping dogs. The gaps I mean,
No one has seen them made or heard them made,
But at spring mending-time we find them there.
I let my neighbour know beyond the hill;
And on a day we meet to walk the line
And set the wall between us once again.
We keep the wall between us as we go.
To each the boulders that have fallen to each.
And some are loaves and some so nearly balls
We have to use a spell to make them balance:
"Stay where you are until our backs are turned!"
We wear our fingers rough with handling them.
Oh, just another kind of out-door game,
One on a side. It comes to little more:
There where it is we do not need the wall:
He is all pine and I am apple orchard.
My apple trees will never get across
And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him.
He only says, "Good fences make good neighbours."
Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonder
If I could put a notion in his head:
"Why do they make good neighbours? Isn't it
Where there are cows? But here there are no cows.
Before I built a wall I'd ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out,
And to whom I was like to give offence.
Something there is that doesn't love a wall,
That wants it down." I could say "Elves" to him,
But it's not elves exactly, and I'd rather
He said it for himself. I see him there
Bringing a stone grasped firmly by the top
In each hand, like an old-stone savage armed.
He moves in darkness as it seems to me,
Not of woods only and the shade of trees.
He will not go behind his father's saying,
And he likes having thought of it so well
He says again, "Good fences make good neighbours."

Robert Frost

This from Wikipedia: "A post office called Swastika operated [in the U.S.] from 1913 until 1958." It still is an incorporated town, but with no post office. Also, an accompanying map shows that it exists way up in NE NY, not NW. In addition, the town of Swastika in Ontario still exists. Finally, no matter how ancient the legacy of the swastika may be, no matter how amoral its shape may be in the history of graphic art and religious tradition, I feel that the word "obscene" is justified to describe it. The same might be said for the image of or the concrete embodiment of a "burning cross." Although used widely by the Scots centuries ago, its use by the Klan to intimidate black persons makes the burning cross a visual obscenity. P.S Thanks for the link to the mashable maps.

A nice set. Wife and I spent a week in Prague two years ago and fell in love with this beautiful city. I still drink the local beer--Urquel Pilsner. Many fond memories.

The cheap Walmart option sounds good. But I would have to somehow use it without having the machine on my lap. I discovered that I could buy a new Sony keyboard for $25 and Best Buy would install it for $60. Even though I don't have Parkinson's, I still wouldn't trust my ancient shaky fingers to handle the installation at home. As someone who is running for prez likes to say, "Believe me. I know. That's a fact."

Appreciation and thanks to all who responded to my distress call. BTW, I'm using my Macbook Pro to type this.............Migawd, it loves periods! ☉

No number keypad. And no trace of Dorito crumbs in or around the period key. Thanks anyway.

Thanks. Now I'm thinking of writing a short story about this illness. Problem is, how to do so without "period capacity."

I have a 5-year-old Sony Vaio laptop with Windows 7, and it's my favorite go-to tool for simple post-processing with Elements. Just yesterday, it decided to perturb me when its "period" key ceased to work. Even though I'm a senior male (in his early 80s), I became alarmed when my period stopped, a condition that more typically affects young women or girls of wanton proclivities. Rather than speed off to Best Buy, I thought it might be productive to consult the tech-savvy folks in this forum. First, is this a serious illness that writes my Sony's death sentence, or is it a minor glitch that a Best Buy "geek" could cure in minutes? Second, does anyone have an estimate of what I might expect to pay in order to bring about a cure? Thanks for any advice that points me in the right direction. i never dreamt that I could become so despondent over a dot that won't come when it's called.

Yes, and you proudly wear those homemade slippers made with the fur of a slain bear, and you can't get enough of that tasty gray soup, right?
:) :) :)

I was convinced that this was either 1) a photo of Dolly Parton from the front, or 2) a photo of Jennifer Lopez from the back. :lol:

I'd like to see that film on Netflix also. Would you please share the title of it? Thanks.

Haven't seen this one in years, but it still has me on the floor laughing.

We should ask El Chapo Guzman what he used on delinquent customers.
