[Sydney] Lea published an essay, "Robert Frost and the End of Poetry." He writes:"Poets are of course famous for brooding, often on what has been. Many, myself included, worry that we are at this point really, absolutely, at the end, just now because of the racing development of technology: e-books, Kindle, texting, Twittering, etc. Poets, though, have pretty much always thought their art to be in its sunset phase. Like men and women who reach a certain biological age, we all must come to mourn a vanished and--inevitably, to our way of thinking--a better age."
