Two poems that perfectly capture "moments out of time"


"Stopping by woods . . . "  Robert Frost.   The last stanza so well known it was quoted inter alia by John F. Kennedy. Note the repeated last line.  Is it possible that Lawrence Durrell's use of  this device in several of his (sadly neglected) poems was a homage to Frost?


"Adlestrop."  Edward Thomas      You old enough to remember branch-line steam trains that stopped at every hen-house along the way?   If not, this lovely little poem could be quite lost on you.
