“He moves in darkness as it seems to me,
Not of woods only and the shade of trees.”

Robert Frost (1874–1963) American poet

Mending Wall (1914)
Context: He moves in darkness as it seems to me,
Not of woods only and the shade of trees.
He will not go behind his father’s saying,
And he likes having thought of it so well
He says again, “Good fences make good neighbours.”
