“mending wall”

by robert frost

something there is that doesn't love a wall,

that sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,

and spills the upper boulders in the sun;

and makes gaps even two can pass abreast.

the work of hunters is another thing: 5

i have come after them and made repair

where they have left not one stone on a stone,

but they would have the rabbit out of hiding,

to the yelping dogs. the gaps i mean,

no one has seen them made or heard them made, 10

but at spring mending-time we find them there.

i let my neighbor know beyond the hill;

and on a day we meet to walk the line

and set the wall between us once again.

we keep the wall between us as we go. 15

to each the boulders that have fallen to each.

and some are loaves and some so nearly balls

we have to use a spell to make them balance:

"stay where you are until our backs are turned! "

we wear our fingers rough with handling them. 20

oh, just another kind of out-door game,

one on a side. it comes to little more:

there where it is we do not need the wall:

he is all pine and i am apple orchard.

my apple trees will never get across 25

and eat the cones under his pines, i tell him.

he only says, "good fences make good neighbors."

spring is the mischief in me, and i wonder

if i could put a notion in his head:

"why do they make good neighbors? 30

isn't it where there are cows?

but here there are no cows.

before i built a wall i'd ask to know

what i was walling in or walling out,

and to whom i was like to give offense. 35

something there is that doesn't love a wall,

that wants it down." i could say "elves" to him,

but it's not elves exactly, and i'd rather

he said it for himself. i see him there

bringing a stone grasped firmly by the top 40

in each hand, like an old-stone savage armed.

he moves in darkness as it seems to me,

not of woods only and the shade of trees.

he will not go behind his father's saying,

and he likes having thought of it so well 45

he says again, "good fences make good neighbors."

Which phrase from the article suggests a tone that is formal but subjective? a- "thirty-six inches long and sixteen inches wide" b- "loads of fun with it" c- "most generous and attractive" d- "must be new subscribers" one of the most generous and attractive offers ever made to washington boys and girls is announced today by the washington times circulation department. for a limited time, national capital youngsters who show enterprise and energy will be given disc wheel coaster wagons in return for a few hours of their time. each boy or girl who sends in to the circulation manager, room 242, the names and addresses of ten friends or relatives who agree to take the washington times for six months, will receive one of these wagons, which can be made a source of profit as well as unending enjoyment for youngsters. the boys and girls are merely asked to obtain the signatures of ten friends or relatives. no money is to be collected and no work is required. the washington times is the most popular and constantly growing newspaper in the national capital and it is easy and simple to obtain the required ten signatures. as soon as the signatures are verified, the disc wheel coaster wagon will be delivered to the energetic boy or girl. the disc wheel coaster wagon is thirty-six inches long and sixteen inches wide. the coaster is built exactly like a high-powered automobile. the disc wheels have rubber tires and true roller bearings. it runs as smoothly as an eight-cylinder automobile. it is built of the strongest wood and is equipped with a reliable hand brake, enabling the owner to stop in an instant. the tongue—usually the first thing about a wagon to break and render the wagon unserviceable—is so stout that a man can jump on it without breaking it. it is built for real boys and active girls and they are bound to have loads of fun with it. besides using the wagon for pleasure and going visiting, boys and girls can use it to make money, running—or riding—errands, delivering packages, wheeling marketing home, etc. the disc wheel coaster wagon is so strongly built that it will withstand the roughest usage to which it may be subjected and will last for years. every boy and girl who wants one of the attractive and most desirable disc wheel coaster wagons should start today to sign up the necessary ten relatives or friends as home delivery subscribers for the washington times for six months. bear in mind that the ten persons whose signatures you obtain must be new subscribers—that is, they must be persons who are not having the washington times delivered at their homes at present. here’s hoping every boy and girl in washington gets a disc wheel coaster wagon before many days.
