In this episode of Night School, Mr. Wes Schantz and I consider "Mending Walls" by Robert Frost. Specifically, (1) we consider the haphazard meter/rollicking and disjointed language of the poem; (2) the necessity and beauty of walls, and how they relate to institutions, like the American political edifice; and how (3) relevant the lines, "Oh, just another kind of out-door game,
One on a side. It comes to little more:" might be to America today.
