...between planes is matched by differences in the quality of troops-their training, their arms, their physique, their leadership. In these respects, for example, 13 divisions of Greeks are certainly no match for 13 divisions of Germans.

Frost's early poems read like invocations of a conscience which, if it left him, would leave him lost-yet whose presence made every day, however perfect, a judgment day. But even these early poems show Frost almost as willing to play hide-&-seek with judgment as to face...
