Blog 11: Quote Response

This is taken from Robert Frosts' poem "Acquainted with the Night." (576)

I have been acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain-and back in rain.
I have out walked the furthest city light.

I chose this poem because of its simplicity. It's meaningful, but easy to understand. This poem is in the form of  a sonnet and Terza Rima. I would say that this poem is about someone who is always traveling always moving and does not really have a home to go to. This person seems to travel mostly at night and therefore knows it well. The person also seems to be isolated from other people whether it is by choice or not I am not sure.
