I Love Snow too Mr.Frost

I'm not sure if anyones noticed the slight irony between Robert Frost and his poem Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening. Anyway, I liked this poem a lot; like almost anyone I love snow and there aren't many things as pretty I guess you could say. I thought it was a well thought out and great way to describe the beauty of the snow covered woods so vividly. Some people feel that the ending where Frost twice says," And miles to go before I sleep," that it feels negative as if he doesn't want to leave. But I think that because in the line before these two he states that he has promises to keep, he is honoring the promise with dignity and is looking at the road home in a head first additude; as if he were about to start running on foot, leaving the horse behind screaming to his wife whom he promised he wouldn't be home late, " I'ma comin' home babay!" ( lol )
