This video started off as an attempt at comedy: silly sound effects accompanying Robert Frost's "Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening". Thirty years ago Frost's poem was probably encountered by every student in Canada and the United States at one time or another, though perhaps nowadays the fact that it contains the word "queer", in the sense of "odd" or "strange", makes it the target of classroom wits. In any case, wolf calls, barking dogs, the sound of waves lapping against the shore of a supposedly frozen lake, none of them could completely undermine the beauty of the poem. It demanded to be taken seriously, so here's my attempt at doing just that.
