Analyzes the darker side of Robert Frost’s poetry, based on his visions of the spiritual world.
In this essay, the experience of Frost’s early life is related to spiritual knowledge that took the form of visions. As a mystic, thus, Frost was haunted with understandings of the world that could not be expressed as truth – only alluded to as what lies between the obvious contradictions. The darkness of Frost’s poetry is analyzed here as a conflict with understanding the depths of a reality that most never see.
