Robert Frost's "Design" amazing

Discussion in 'The Artist's Corner' started by walkingparadoxx, Aug 31, 2011.

  1. I found a dimpled spider, fat and white,
    On a white heal-all, holding up a moth
    Like a white piece of rigid satin cloth --
    Assorted characters of death and blight
    Mixed ready to begin the morning right,
    Like the ingredients of a witches' broth --
    A snow-drop spider, a flower like a froth,
    And dead wings carried like a paper kite.

    What had that flower to do with being white,
    The wayside blue and innocent heal-all?
    What brought the kindred spider to that height,
    Then steered the white moth thither in the night?
    What but design of darkness to appall?--
    If design govern in a thing so small.
    -Robert Frost

    I personally think its his best work ever imho, but I wanna hear analysis from other blades on this piece. One liners are cool, or longer if you want.:smoke:

    simply: I believe its about how we dont know. Nature lets us know or want to.
    i have other ones ill post too if this thread doesnt die.
