"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" was a very interesting poem, and definitely my favorite out of the assigned readings. Automatically I tend to search for any kind of symbolism in Frost. I was especially intrigued by the poems ending lines "And miles to go before I sleep./ And miles to go before I sleep." because they entice feelings of being on the road and the theme of travelling or being in a transition phase becomes apparent. In addition to the theme, I liked the word choice Frost uses. For example, "The woods are lovely, dark, and deep/But I have promises to keep," are poignant and left an impression on me. Word choice along with Frost's use of imagery are reasons why his poems stand out among the rest.
