"Mending Wall" by Robert Frost

The poem “Mending Wall” by Robert Frost explores physical boundaries as well as mental boundaries. The persona uses visual imagery to explain the destruction of the wall.
“That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it
And spills he upper boulder in the sun,”

The tone is sarcastic and the style is subjective and personal. Robert Frost also uses pathetic fallacy to explain how the persona is feeling.
“Spring is the mischief in me…..”
