Hm. Yes, definitely. I would also agree with you that Frost is too...uncomplicated, or something...for Angel, although I Have Been One Acquainted with the Night (http://www.internal.org/view_poem.phtml?poemID=119) is rather apt. (I still like "Rhapsody on a Windy Night" better, for what it's worth, but still.) And wow, I sort of can't conceive having that much hatred toward a poet... >_<
Also, we read Louis Macneice's Bagpipe Music (http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bagpipe-music/) for class today and it's overall very...weird, but mostly the good kind of weird. Anyway I can totally see River quoting this part:
John MacDonald found a corpse, put it under the sofa, Waited till it came to life and hit it with a poker, Sold its eyes for souvenirs, sold its blood for whiskey, Kept its bones for dumbbells to use when he was fifty.
