시로만 접하다가, 그 시를 지은 사람 본인의 편지, 강연, essay 등을 읽다보면, 무어랄까, 아 그렇구나, 아 저 시가 저런 맥락을 갖고 있구나 하게 되는 듯. 좀 더 구체적이 되고 좀 더 애잔해진다할까.
특히, T. S. Eliot 그리고 Thoreau를 언급할 때, 그 맥락을 충분히 인지하지 못하고 있었는데, 1장의 '비평가로서 Robert Frost'를 읽게 되면서 아 그게 그런 거였구나 하게 되다.
Frost 본인의 시 이론은 다음 대여섯 개 글에 압축되어 있지 않을까.
- (preface) Introduction to The Arts Anthology: Dartmouth Verse(1925)
- (lecture) Education by Poetry: Meditative Monologue(1930)
