Excerpt - Executive Director Courtney White's Opening Remarks

"We are all familiar with poet Robert Frost's famous line that 'good fences make good neighbors.' But in 'Mending Wall' the line is spoken not by the narrator but by his neighbor, a farmer, and it is the only thing his neighbor says in the entire poem. It's left to the narrator to muse over its meaning, as well as over the stone wall that separates them, noting 'Something there is that doesn't love a wall.'"
