This article literally appraises the books "West-Running Brook," by Robert Frost and "Selected Poems," by Robert Frost. The best poems in Mr. Frost's new volume will repay a third or a fourth or a fifteenth reading. Certain pages of the book remain after several attempts to find more in them than meets the eye, trivial; and certain others are merely good enough. But at least five poems here have all of their author's unique excellence, which is to say that they are not to be compared with the poems of any other living man, and to say that they give an absolute, almost undiscussable pleasure.
