Robert Frost’s poem “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” was published in The New Republic magazine on this day in 1923. He called it, “My best bid for remembrance.” It is one of the best known and loved poems in all of American literature.
“Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” ends:
"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."
Thank you all....we love reading Garrison's stories and occasionally writing some comments like Siskel and Ebert. We get to have all the fun, and enjoy his captions, too.
When I was in college, back in the mid 1960's, the Men's Glee singing group, to which my then friend, ultimately husband belonged, sang a lovely setting by Randall Thompson of "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening". Thanks for the memory.
We still have those miles to keep, and those promises that go with them. It's the keeping of both that's the difficult trek. Press on and keep those promises. It will help with our sleep.

I thought the first phone call was "We've been trying to reach you regarding your car's extended warranty."
Bell’s Photophone was not a device that allowed users to see each other. It was a method of transmitting speech using a beam of light.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
That’s what Frost wrote. It’s a whole different sense without that second comma.

Thank you, Tom, for that thought.
