i have worked outside almost everyday for 35 years.each year when the first
snow falls and ''hisses on the yet uncovered ground''we stop for a moment
and listen and reflect upon the coming winter. to have frost give it
context hasmeant much to me.....a poet can only use an opening line
once....growing up as i did in new england, the words''always the
same''were a common saying usually spoken with a certain urgency,a sense of
foreboding tinged with resignation. it interests me greatly that frost
burned up those words to start this poem, my favorite of all his works.

Almost my favourite. Hear it read aloud and you'll see why.
