"Although Frost began writing in the late nineteenth century, we are still only beginning to formulate an intelligent evaluation of his poetry"
I find this very interesting as it shows how advanced and right-minded Robert Frost really was. It is amazing that we are still dissecting his writing over 100 years later.

"One point remains to be made—an important one—which is that although many of the failures are poems associated with Frost's deliberate optimism, many others are products of his darker intuition, just as his successes, too, are distributed, though unevenly, on both sides of the spectrum"
During my research, I found that many of Frost's poems were fairly pessimistic. I find it interesting that even his successes are not always not that optimistic. This could be due to his children's deaths, his fathers death or many other things. It shows that his life was not the most joy-filled.

"In terms of theme and technique, 'Storm Fear' offers evidence in Frost's very first book that he was not a writer of gentle nature lyrics no matter what the public wanted to believe"
This comment had a greater impact as this is commentary on the poem that I analyzed. I did see that Frost was not fond of gentle nature just as Donald said. This goes along with the above comment with the fact that Frost is fairly pessimistic and was changed by something that occurred in his life.
