The "Design" Of Fate? I thought that "Design" was an interesting poem because it uses the spider to describe Frost’s views on things that are much larger and more universal.

Robert Frost’s imagery like “I have outwalked the furthest city light” and “one luminary clock against the sky” gives the reader a calm but sad mood. The form of the poem is blank verse (iambic
