Remember – like apples of gold in settings of silver is a word spoken in the right circumstances.
...huh?
I have never felt Frost was overrated. He is certainly a quotable poet. Some greats are lavishly quotable and some not so quotable. Of course Shakespeare but also Donne. I do not think Stevens is a particularly quotable poet. He seldom dispenses in kernels.
In general I am more fond of his rhyming verse than his blank verse. A poet need not write long poems to be considered great by me. It is not a necessity at all. For now epic long poems are a thing of the past, and shorter poems are absolutely more suited to the predilections of people in the internet age. A hundred lines, that is a long poem. How many anthologies of the future will include Death Of The Hired Hand? But they will include poems like The Sound Of Trees.
