Robert Frost and the Dark Inviting Woods


Driving past the mangrove forests on the EEH this morning, and I had a sudden flash of new insight into a line from a poem :


"The woods are lovely, dark and deep,   
But I have promises to keep,   
And miles to go before I sleep,   
And miles to go before I sleep."


The pull of a vagabond dreamer, a poet and a romantic to explore the woods both physical and mental, and the corresponding pulls of everyday life and its responsibilities.
