Mending Wall

Something there is that doesn't love a wall,
That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,
And spills the upper boulders in the sun;
And makes gaps even two can pass abreast.
That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,
And spills the upper boulders in the sun;
And makes gaps even two can pass abreast.
The work of hunters is another thing:
I have come after them and made repair
Where they have left not one stone on a stone,
But they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
To please the yelping dogs. The gaps I mean,
No one has seen them made or heard them made,
But at spring mending-time we find them there.
I let my neighbour know beyond the hill;
And on a day we meet to walk the line
And set the wall between us once again.
We keep the wall between us as we go.
To each the boulders that have fallen to each.
And some are loaves and some so nearly balls
We have to use a spell to make them balance:
We wear our fingers rough with handling them.
Oh, just another kind of out-door game,
One on a side. It comes to little more:
There where it is we do not need the wall:
He is all pine and I am apple orchard.
My apple trees will never get across
And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him.
He only says, "Good fences make good neighbours."
Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonder
If I could put a notion in his head:
"Why do they make good neighbours? Isn't it
Where there are cows? But here there are no cows.
Before I built a wall I'd ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out,
And to whom I was like to give offence.
Something there is that doesn't love a wall,
That wants it down." I could say "Elves" to him,
But it's not elves exactly, and I'd rather
He said it for himself. I see him there
Bringing a stone grasped firmly by the top
In each hand, like an old-stone savage armed.
He moves in darkness as it seems to me,
Not of woods only and the shade of trees.
He will not go behind his father's saying,
And he likes having thought of it so well
He says again, "Good fences make good neighbours."

回覆刪除2.Absolutely

Everyone needs their own spaces
The wall is stanf for communication.
回覆刪除What does a wall mean to you?
回覆刪除我覺得牆像聯考時考的數理科
對我來說 在我考大學選擇語文科系的時候
對我上的課程都不會有影響 也不需要用到
不過還是會有人覺得考數學是必要的
覺得那些數理應該是基本常識
所以即便我不想 看的心不甘情不願
還是得去讀 去考
I think Wall means the distance between people and people,if it doesn't have wall. We can more close to each other. But it may offence the other one if you don't realize him or her so much.
回覆刪除I don't think it's necessary to mend a wall because mending the wall takes time and will have to mend it every time it's broken.
回覆刪除I think it is not necessary to mend the wall because there is already a wall.That's enough.
回覆刪除But I prefer to recreate a new beautiful wall.=))
張元柏：一道牆可以保持人與人之間友善的距離，既不疏遠也不會過於親近而使人感受到壓力，對於我來說是這道牆的意義。
回覆刪除當然這道牆不需要高到把自己與他人拒之在外，但也不是低到可以忽視的存在，保持著這樣的距離，才能與人有輕鬆自在的相處環境。

回覆刪除我認為牆是不需要的，但是即便如此還是該建牆，因為任何事物之間都該有一個界限之類的來維持事物的平衡。

回覆刪除何芝寧 第一題
回覆刪除一種個人的界線，如果陌生人跨越這個界線會是使我不愉快，但是慢慢熟悉後，成為朋友，我可以敞開心房，邀請他們進來我的世界。每個人都有一道牆，要如何卸下心防，要嘗試溝通與交流
