  25. "Out, Out - "by: Robert Frost   The buzz saw snarled and rattled in the yardAnd made dust and dropped stove-length sticks of wood,Sweet-scented stuff when the breeze drew across it.And from there those that lifted eyes could countFive mountain ranges one behing the otherUnder the sunset far into Vermont.And the saw snarled and rattled, snarled and rattled,As it ran light, or had to bear a load.And nothing happened: day was all but done.Call it a day, I wish they might have saidTo please the boy by giving him the half hourThat a boy counts so much when saved from work.His sister stood beside him in her apronTo tell them "Supper." At the word, the saw,As if it meant to prove saws know what supper meant,Leaped out at the boy's hand, or seemed to leap - He must have given the hand. However it was, Neither refused the meeting. But the hand!Half in appeal, but half as if to keepThe life from spilling. Then the boy saw all - Since he was old enough to know, big boyDoing a man's work, though a child at heart - He saw all was spoiled. "Don't let him cut my hand off - The doctor, when he comes. Don't let him, sister!"So. The hand was gone already.The doctor put him in the dark of ether.He lay and puffed his lips out with his breath.And then - the watcher at his pulse took a fright.No one believed. They listened to his heart.Little - less - nothing! - and that ended it. No more to build on there. And they, since theyWere not the one dead, turned to their affairs.

  36. That moment she was mine, mine, fair,Perfectly pure and good: I foundA thing to do, and all her hairIn one long yellow string l wound Three times her little throat around,And strangled her. No pain felt she;I am quite sure she felt no pain. As a shut bud that holds a bee,I warily oped her lids: again Laughed the blue eyes without a stain.And l untightened next the tress About her neck; her cheek once moreBlushed bright beneath my burning kiss: I propped her head up as before, Only, this time my shoulder boreHer head, which droops upon it still: The smiling rosy little head,So glad it has its utmost will, That all it scorned at once is fled, And I, its love, am gained instead!Porphyria's love: she guessed not how Her darling one wish would be heard.And thus we sit together now, And all night long we have not stirred,And yet God has not said aword! • The rain set early in tonight, The sullen wind was soon awake, It tore the elm-tops down for spite,And did its worst to vex the lake: I listened with heart fit to break.When glided in Porphyria; straight She shut the cold out and the storm,And kneeled and made the cheerless grate Blaze up, and all the cottage warm; Which done, she rose, and from her formWithdrew the dripping cloak and shawl, And laid her soiled gloves by, untiedHer hat and let the damp hair fall, And, last, she sat down by my side And called me. When no voice replied,She put my arm about her waist,And made her smooth white shoulder bare, And all her yellow hair displaced,And, stooping, made my cheek lie there, And spread, o'er all, her yellow hair,Murmuring how she loved me — she Too weak, for all her heart's endeavor,To set its struggling passion free From pride, and vainer ties dissever, And give herself to me forever.But passion sometimes would prevail, Nor could tonight's gay feast restrainA sudden thought of one so pale For love of her, and all in vain:So, she was come through wind and rain. Be sure I looked up at her eyesHappy and proud; at last l knew Porphyria worshiped me: surpriseMade my heart swell, and still it grew While I debated what to do.
