It is the most surcharged with significance. Frost cannot write unless he can hear in him the voices carrying on the conversation that he records. These visitations of style, as Stevenson calls them, are not at his command. At other times he can't write at all. In talking about poetry he does not employ the conventional words that one usually hears in such discussions.
Poetic diction is all wrong.
Words must be the ordinary words that we hear about us, to which the imagination must give an iridescence. Words that are the product of another poet's imagination cannot he passed off again. They have done their work. One of my abominations is the word 'immemorial,' which every poet for years has pulled in whenever he has had need of a long word. They can't get away with it.
