Robert Frost - Stars

How countlessly they congregate
O'er our tumultuous snow,
Which flows in shapes as tall as trees
When wintry winds do blow!--

As if with keeness for our fate,
Our faltering few steps on
To white rest, and a place of rest
Invisible at dawn,--

And yet with neither love nor hate,
Those starts like somw snow-white
Minerva's snow-white marble eyes
Without the gift of sight.

Or maybe you're not thinking deeply enough. Chances are if he's making a reference to a Roman or Greek goddess, then there probably is some deeper meaning. Robert Frost did not become a well-known and well-respected poet by writing simply about stars and nature. That's not interesting. It's his use of imagery, symbolism and metaphor that made him such a phenomenal poet.

The poem clearly contrasts the placidity of the stars, blind observers of human conflict as well as a means of telling the future (Frost clearly references astrology ). The stars are amoral. They guide us into the ground by destiny without being aware of their higher function.
