Analysis of The Trial By Existence
Robert Frost 1874 (San Francisco) – 1963 (Boston)
Even the bravest that are slain Shall not dissemble their surprise On waking to find valor reign, Even as on earth, in paradise; And where they sought without the sword Wide fields of asphodel fore'er, To find that the utmost reward Of daring should be still to dare.
