The Line-Gang by Robert Frost
Here come the line-gang pioneering by.
They throw a forest down less cut than broken.
They plant dead trees for living, and the dead
They string together with a living thread.
They string an instrument against the sky
Wherein words whether beaten out or spoken
Will run as hushed as when they were a thought
But in no hush they string it: they go past
With shouts afar to pull the cable taut,
To hold it hard until they make it fast,
To ease away—they have it. With a laugh,
An oath of towns that set the wild at naught
They bring the telephone and telegraph.
1. What does “beaten out” and “spoken” refer to in the phrase “words whether beaten out or spoken?”
2. Explain what the phrase “They plant dead trees for living” means. What type of figure of speech is being used here?
3. What is the meaning of the word “fast” (see line 10) in the poem?
