It beckons, doesn't it? I'm almost getting a deceptively sinister vibe, sort of a Children-of-the-Corn-on-Seaside-Holiday thing....

I appreciate the effort, but an audio wave file doesn't do a deaf man much good...

Good fences make good neighbors

The Frost quote comes from (as you noted) "Mending Wall", which begins: "Something there is that doesn't love a wall, that sends the frozen ground-swell under it..." and is concerned, in its entirety, with the fieldstone pasture walls of the harsh Northeast. Every winter the cycle of freeze/thaw/freeze/thaw thrusts the ground up and down, breaking down the stone walls and also bringing to the surface in the fields yet more stones that must be added to them. This is why the NE "fields" are so small and so many, actually; the largest practical size for a field was how far a man could walk carrying a fieldstone, because every spring as long as he was working the land he'd have to take these stones and move them onto his walls.

In the poem the narrator and his neighbor stand, each on their own side of the wall, and, working together, replace the broken sections and increase the wall as they move along. That's the "good neighbors" aspect of the poem; that our fences/walls bring us together as much as they keep us apart :-)

Maybe info you already had, or info you don't care to know, but there it is :-)

Your butt probably hurts from pulling that awful border out of it... I like the grassy topknot though, and the way everything surrounding it is bowing to it.
