: Hi!
: Well I think the way u explained this poem in those little sentences was very nice. But U know I still don't understand the first para! What is the menaing of "To time it never seems that he is brave"????
: I don't get the first few lines at all!!!
: E-mail me ok!!

My sense is that Frost is saying that all the things that Time does that we never can--
wearing down mountains, turning islands into sand-spits, etc -- all these things don't even
seem brave to Time because it's simply part of "his" nature. Agree/disagree? Comment?
