The last verse of Senses Fail’s “Miles to Go” (2022) is the final stanza from “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.” Whoever came up with that idea doesn’t know how poetry works. If you think any part of Robert Frost’s poem can exist in a vacuum, isolated from the whole, you’re a philistine.

Took a brief break from #DH2024 to see the James Baldwin exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery because #LitNerd :) Also saw the Forces of Nature Exhibit & Brilliant Exiles: American Women in Paris, 1900–1939 because change of place and place more generally are my jam!
