Famous Poem Starts #5

"But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep"
From :Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening by Robert Frost
Response:
I not only chose this line becauser of the meaning but Robert Frost is one of my favorite poets. I love how he describes snow and the scenery he sees in his poems. They capture not only what they look like but the emotions felt by the person seeing the pictures. I love this line because it shows me devotion. It feels to me that the person is devoted to reaching their destination no matter how weak or tired they are. I think the lines aren't the normal snowy day poems where it talks about white fluff and being cold but it's something more. It's different and unique. It also reminds me of Little Red Riding Hood for some reason because she traveled through the woods and was determined to get to her grandmothers house.
