A Revelation of Robert Frost

Revelation

    WE make ourselves a place apart
    Behind light words that tease and flout,
    But oh, the agitated heart
    Till someone find us really out.
    'Tis pity if the case require
    (Or so we say) that in the end
    We speak the literal to inspire
    The understanding of a friend.
    But so with all, from babes that play
    At hide-and-seek to God afar,
    So all who hide too well away
    Must speak and tell us where they are. 

Immediately after reading this poem it became

my favorite of Robert Frost. I like this poem, 

because it talk's about human beings and how we

keep ourselves apart from others', but in 

reality we hope for someone to come and 

find us and see us for who we really are. 

Sometimes we hide ourselves too well and thus, 

we have to speak out in order to be found. In 

his poem, Frost uses personification to give 

the emotion of "agitation" to the human heart.
