About

I believe that Robert Frost starts the reader out with an idea many can relate to. The “parcels” slipping and falling allows Frost to convey an empathizing tone, a feeling of annoyance or frustration that really symbolize the stresses and the losses of life. “extremes too hard to comprehend at once”...

The Armful Annotated

For every parcel I stoop down to seize
I lose some other off my arms and knees,
And the whole pile is slipping, bottles, buns-
Extremes too hard to comprehend at once,
Yet nothing I should care to leave behind.
With all I have to hold with hand and mind
And heart, if need be, I will do my best
To keep their building balanced at my breast.
I crouch down to prevent them as they fall;
Then sit down in the middle of them all.
I had to drop the armful in the road
And try to stack them in a better load.
