Society, as we have constituted it, will have no place for me, has none to offer; but Nature, whose sweet rains fall on unjust and just alike, will have clefts in the rocks where I may hide, and secret valleys in whose silence I may weep undisturbed. She will hang the night with stars so that I may walk abroad in the darkness without stumbling, and send the wind over my footprints so that none may track me to my hurt: she will cleanse me in great waters, and with bitter herbs make me whole.Oscar Wilde
About This Quote
Robert Frost was saying that he will not be able to fit into society. Society at that time was very accepting of different people, everyone with different views and ideas are accepted. But now, society is more focused on what they are doing and less on what they are thinking. They are only focused on the actions they need to perform to make them look successful or successful in their business. This quote shows us that society has already changed, it is no longer about talk anymore, it is all about action.
