The Span Of Life

The old dog barks backwards without getting up.
I can remember when he was a pup.

This poem portrays the fleeting nature of time and the progression of life. The elderly dog's backward barks symbolize his lived experiences and the past receding into memory.

The author observes the dog's present condition, contrasting it with his youthful vigor. This juxtaposition evokes a sense of nostalgia and reflection on the passing of time.

The poem stands out from Frost's other works, which often delve into complex themes of nature, isolation, and mortality. However, it shares his characteristic minimalist style and use of everyday imagery to explore profound truths.

In the context of its time period, the poem reflects the growing awareness of the transience of life during the early 20th century. The First World War had left a significant impact, instilling a sense of loss and uncertainty.

Through its simple yet evocative language, "The Span of Life" captures the universal experience of witnessing the passage of time and the wistful longing for the past.

While winning is not everything, it is satisfying to learn we are correct in some things and on the right side of history.

The single most important thing we can do to win an argument, for example, is to allow the other person to explain their point of view without interruptions.

Let them speak first, it will make them more perceptive when we speak..

Once they present their POV, do not make it personal. It will anger the individual and make them less likely to concede.
