Analysis and comments on An Encounter by Robert Frost

Comment 3 of 3, added on May 25th, 2007 at 2:10 PM.

the encounter brings a fimilarity to many people including myself. when you
have those moments when you see someone that you either hardly know or knew
better than yourself and yet you have drifted apart, and you see them
there. in front of you as if you want to run up to them and greet them yet
something unexplainably stops you in mid tracks. what is it that always
makes you stop?

Dude this one went right over your head didn’t it the resurrected tree is a
telephone poll...not Jesus, nice try though. Don’t believe me? look this
poem up in his book "for young people"

this poem may look short but it has alot of meaning like when he talks
about the resurrected tree he is talking about Jesus
