However, Robert Frost’s poem “Design” shows evidence of modernist thinking, in accordance with the definitions of the movement laid out by David Harvey. Though many of Frost’s poems are meant to contradict the “sprung-rhythmists” (Norton 250) of the time in form and rhyme, “Design” in theme and tone has proven itself to be a modern poem. When looking at modern writing, the definition of “modernity”…
