We finished studying Frost's "out Out," by my addressing the poem's title which is drawn from Macbeth's soliloquy after the suicide of Lady Macbeth. I read the iconic soliloquy and we explored how this passage relates to the theme of the poem. We next addressed a deeply metaphoric poem by Frost,"For Once ,then, Something" about the search for truth and meaning. While Aiden expressed some uncertainty about his understanding of the poem, he ,in fact, offered a very astute analysis noting how our view of the truth is captured in glimpses that quickly may disappear. I noted the similarity of the metaphor of water reflected on the surface of well water and St Paul's observation that "we see through a glass darkly." As we began our next Frost poem, we noted how Frost's poems often have a dark side.
