Acquainted With The Night Comments

'One luminary clock against the sky' I am in love..

But not to call me back or say good-bye; And further still at an unearthly height, One luminary clock against the sky a great poem of Robert Frost. tony

The night here stands for the miseries of life.

I have been one acquainted with the night. I have walked out in rain - and back in rain. I have outwalked the furthest city light. walking in the night to the city light. a fine poem. tony

This is a beautifully-crafted poem. Frost at his best.

This remains my favourite poem by Robert Frost.

I Have Been One Acquainted With The Night is one of Robert Frost's lesser known poems. It was recited by Actor Perlman in the television series, Beauty and the Beast with an accompanying video showing the man/ beast walking down a city street late at night...... lamplight glowing in the dark with footsteps heard far back.... then stopping..... .Very memorable.

A terza rima sonnet which greatly appeals to me, because of the night and the word 'acquainted, . This is Frost's best shorter poem, I think. he walked so far in the rain, away from the city, then back again to observe the city lanes and streets. He saw one lighted clock, which 'Proclaimed the time was neither right nor wrong/ I have been one acquainted with the night'.

I am glad you enjoyed

I have just discovered him, his poetry is fabulous and so relatable

Mr. Frost, a poet of legend wrote a amazing poem for the night.

Terza rima, yes- but how is it not also a sonnet (albeit a bit irregular) ?

I always feel this poem is over analysed. I have always enjoyed night walks particularly in Autumn. I like to see the world settling down for the night. Some people leave their curtains open so you have a quick glimpse in to their lives as you pass by. Others shut out the world. I just feel it's a poem of freedom. There is no need to explain to anyone why you are walking alone at night. I find it uplifting.

Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right. I have been one acquainted with the night

oooooooooh yeah baby!

this is so trashhhhhhhhhhhh

The Night, is one of my favorite topics to write about. Zoila T. Flores

Referring to the line about the watchman... As I read for the first few times, I pictured the watchman as his father. I have been in this very same situation where I have returned home late at night to an upset father, mother, guardian when I was out past curfew and dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain. I then researched a little and found out this poem wasn't published until Frost was around 53 years old! As much as I currently feel a personal connection with this poem now, I can't wait to revisit it when I am older. (currently 24 y/o) . What do you all think? ?

Amazed by the serenity of Time.
