The woods are lovely, dark and deep

Yesterday at around 4:00 p.m. I was teaching English vocabulary to some junior high students when this example sentence from the vocabulary textbook caught my eye:


"Robert came to see me on a snowy evening." Obviously whoever wrote this sentence was inspired by Robert Frost's famous poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening." The combination of the name Robert and the exact phrase "on a snowy evening" can hardly be a coincidence.

Then later that evening my misreading of my own post title led to the post "Dyed White and Vanya Moroz," which prominently features people named Frost -- Jack Frost and the Russian figure of Father Frost. This made me think again of Robert Frost and "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening." Even though I'm pretty sure I can recite it from memory, I looked the poem up online and read it.

At around 3:00 this afternoon, my wife said there was a really good documentary on TV and she wanted to watch it with me. This is something that very rarely happens, as she understands that I'm not a TV watcher. It was a Taiwanese film called 九槍, about a Vietnamese illegal alien who was shot nine times by Taiwanese police while he was attempting to steal a cop car while naked and high on drugs. The film name could be translated directly as Nine Shots, but for some reason the English name of the film is instead And Miles to Go Before I Sleep -- that is, the repeated final line of "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening."


Films are often renamed in translation, but that's a very strange choice. The atmosphere and content of the documentary have absolutely nothing in common with Frost's poem except that the shooting takes place in a wooded area. At the very end, just before the credits roll, the final stanza of Frost's poem appears on the screen, in both the original English and a Chinese translation:

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

That's a pretty impressive little cluster of syncs, I think. First Robert and "on a snowy evening"; then Frost; and finally "and miles to go before I sleep" -- references to each of the poet's names and to two different parts of his poem -- and all within a 24-hour period.

William,
Part 1 of 2
I think your Robert Frost sync is for me William.
Case in point :
  The name Robert as well as the name Robards
 ( which I commented about both previously )
 have a personal connection.
Copy and paste:
"From the Germanic name Hrodebert meaning "bright fame",
derived from the elements hruod "fame" and beraht "bright".
The Normans introduced this name to Britain,
 where it replaced the rare Old English cognate Hreodbeorht.

It has been consistently among the most common
 English names from the 13th to 20th century.
 
This name has been borne by two kings of the
 Franks, two dukes of Normandy,
and three kings of Scotland, including
Robert the Bruce who restored the independence
 of Scotland from England in the 14th century.'
~~~~~~~
Robert/Robards, bright fame, are the Shinning Ones.
The Shining Ones are from the North.
North of the Mason-Dixon, i.e the 36 30 parallel North
The North direction of course being cold.
 
Recall my 2014 Moon River dream about 'going north'.

Jacob Frost ( Jack ) as well as Santa as well as
The Red Cross ( red Frost? )  and Switzerland
colors are red and white, which you recently
posted a red and white sync, no?

Jack Frost is often shown as a snowman
wearing a red scarf.

Copy and paste: ( asterisks mine )
"Jack Frost is a personification of frost, ice, snow,
 sleet, winter, and freezing cold.
 He is a variant of Old Man Winter who
 is held responsible for frosty weather,
nipping the fingers and toes in such weather,
 coloring the foliage in autumn,
and leaving fern-like patterns on cold windows in winter.

Starting in late 19th century literature, more developed
 characterizations of Jack Frost depict him as a
 sprite-like character, sometimes appearing as
 a ****sinister mischief-maker****
 or as a hero."
~~~~~~~
And Lo and Behold on Jack Frost's wiki page,
check this out
about Jack, which I didn't know the information
 before your post today
as I've never had a reason to research Jack Frost.
Copy and paste: asterisks mine
"Jack Frost is traditionally said to leave
the frosty, fern-like patterns on windows
 on cold winter mornings (window frost or fern frost)
 and nipping the extremities in cold weather.

 Over time, window frost has become far less
prevalent in the modern world due to the advance
 of double-glazing, but Jack Frost remains
 a well-known figure in popular culture.

He is sometimes described or depicted
 with paint brush and bucket coloring the
******autumnal foliage red, yellow, brown, and orange.*****

 According to other customs, he is said
 to be the husband of *******Suzy***** Snowflake.
~~~~~~~
  Lo and behold another Suzy sync?
What's the odds that Suzy i.e the Lily ( the L's (EL's)
who were also Shining Ones ) appears again???!
 
Snow and ice crystals also 'sparkles'/shines.
Recall my many many comments about The Shining Ones
and in particular the 1980 movie The Shining 
which takes place in Colorado Rocky Mountains.
Rocky Mountains, being on the 40 lat
and the 104 longitude.

Recall my many comments about the significance 
of the 40 and
 the 104 ( 14/41 )  and Switzerland.


 Also another VERY VERY odd North connection
happened to me a couple of days ago.
Here's the back story:

Being a nostalgic kind of gal, I have a nice collection
of DVDs of  different movies and TV shows
from back in the day.
I have a DVD of episodes from an early 1950's TV show
titled Mr. and Mrs. North ( see link ).

Part 2

Although Mr. and Mrs. North was way before
my time and I've never seen the episodes before
even in reruns,  I still
bought the DVD because the entire show
was filmed in black and white, and I have
a nostalgia feel  for old black and white TV shows
and movies.

The plot of the series is the North's are somewhat
amateur sleuths as there was always a murder
in each episode. Mrs. North mostly used
her 'intuition' connecting the puzzle pieces to
find out 'who-done-it'.

On each disc are about 10 half-hour episodes.
There are 4 discs. I just chose a disc
randomly to watch.  I fell asleep, because
truth be told many of the episodes are kinda
boring.

What woke me up is I heard a loud sound
of bat wings flapping. I've heard this sound before recently
many times in the last 6 months.

Recall I commented before about Marshall
and I having had several bat 'visits' for many years
as we live in the WOODS. Perhaps another connection
to your woods post today?

 The recent LOUD bat wings flapping has woken
 me up and when I look
around the room, no sign of bats.

What's also odd is our dog Jacob used to shake his ears
quickly and loudly which sounded very much
like bat wings flapping.

When I woke up from the loud flapping,
I looked around, no bats and then saw the menu
screen of Mrs. and Mrs. North was still on the screen
as all of the 10 episodes had played as I slept.

For some odd reason I felt as if 'Jacob' wanted
me to look at the 4th episode again ( since
I slept through it the first time.)  All
of the episodes are numbered. 

I looked at the tv screen and saw that particular episode
 number 4 was titled : The Third Eye.( see link )
I immediately thought; hmmm, that's odd.

And lo and behold, in that particular episode
there is another SUZY connection!!!!!
I couldn't believe it.
What's the odds?

I think your frost/woods/Robert sync was for me.

'Dem sync fairies be busy.

William,
I just noticed that you wrote: 'Yesterday at around
4:00 pm.
Another interesting 4 connection to both your sync
and mine, no?

4 is the Door.

Ra1119bee said...

William,
And yet another interesting number 4 connection.
After I published my comments on your blog,
Marshall and I went outside
and sat on the porch as it is a lovely day ( Aug 24 )
Sure enough I saw movement in the woods exactly
where the portal is. Recall my email
and photos I shared with you about the portal in the woods
and the deer.

I then saw the mom deer walk from the woods
through the 'portal' and out into the yard
of our property. Her 2 fawns followed.
The 3 deer visit almost every day now.

The deer family saw Marshall and I on the porch
and were not afraid and stayed about 10 minutes
or so.

As I shared with you the 'portal' is very significant
because of what happened with Jacob last year
at the end of July. Which the deer showed
up on our property about Aug 11 or so of this year.

I've been kidding with Marshall that
if the S**t Hits the Fan in this country
I'm going through the portal!

I then (jokingly ) said to Marshall
that maybe I'm supposed to
be the fourth deer!
I then immediately thought of the Beatles(4)
song Dear ( Deer ) Prudence. ( see link )

I found this interesting about Prudence:

Copy and paste: asterisks mine
"Allegory of Prudence by Titian.
To Titian, prudence was preparation,
***foresight and judgement from experience****
and human history.

The three faces in the painting represent
the passing of human generations,
with the young facing the light while
the oldest fade into shadow; the faint inscription
above their heads may be translated as
"From the past, the present acts prudently,
lest it spoil future action".
~~~~~~~
The lyrics to Dear Prudence is interesting
as well especially where it concerns
the opening of eyes.

"Dear Prudence, see the sunny skies
The wind is low, the birds will sing
That you are part of everything
Dear Prudence, won't you open up your eyes?"

Robert Frost appeared in my 2020 words, in the weeks around the effort to recover the Rose Stone from the Sawtooth Mountains. It is a strange reference, and remains largely unresolved, so I'll leave it here in the spirit of attempting to solve mysteries and explore one train of thinking.

On April 8, 2020, this is what I have:

Extra! Extra! Latest plot to frustrate plan was defeated [Machir]
Resurrection Robert Frost delay
Creature turn olimon/ olymon

I have Machir in brackets because that word was spoken by another 'voice', who I think was perhaps suggesting the speaker (i.e., it was Machir who was saying "Extra! Extra!...). Machir is the mermaid-man from Daymon's stories, who was Joseph and Asenath's son.

So, that "resurrection Robert Frost delay" is potentially interesting given your connections in this post. You draw a tie between Robert Frost and Fudge Boy/ Pharazon-Peter-Humpty Dumpty in this post and the last. Specifically, you mention both Humpty's and Pharazon's 'great fall'.

The mention of "resurrection" potentially ties into that. Etymonline has the word coming from the Latin word resurgere, which means "rise again, lift oneself; appear again, be restored". So, both a rising and a restoration, which would be an appropriate word, particularly in the form of Humpty, who fell and it was said couldn't be restored, both in terms of his own breaking, but also to his former place high on the wall.

The delay, then, regardless of who Robert Frost symbolizes, would seem to entail an effort by bad forces regarding his resurrection. This would then potentially further tie to the words that follow, regarding a "Creature Turn". "Creature" originally could mean something like "person who owes his rise and fortune to another", fitting well with this rising theme (and also the mention of Fortune), and "Turn" could mean things like "to transform, change" - perhaps getting to the metamorphosis theme, in this sense being a positive change.

My guess last year is that the Rose Stone was meant, in some way, to be played for Patrick, who was Peter-Pharazon, and that this would restore him. This would tie Robert Frost and the delay of his 'resurrection' to events in the Sawtooth Mountains that happened at the end of April 2020. Without the Stone, evil forces would successfully delay (indefinitely) such a restoration from happening.

It is also interesting that the movie image you included is filled with green.

The very next day after the Robert Frost words, there was mention of a "green stone in a very short phrase:

April 9
Astensenwend green stone

I've interpreted "astensenwend" as potentially meaning something like "Sunlight of the Free Maiden" (don't know if that is right), and had the Green Stone as what provides the Sunlight.

For me, this meant that the Green Stone was none other than the Elessar, the Stone that Aragorn carried with him in LOTR (Aragorn would take on the name of Elessar for himself in the end). It was gifted to him by Galadriel in Lothlorien, and was said to contain the light of the sun within it.

In my own opinion, the Elessar would have been a significant aid to Aragorn in his journey on the Paths of the Dead, as well as in healing survivors of the Battle of the Pelennor fields, including Eowyn, Faramir, and Merry. Similarly, the Stone would have aided Asenath in my guess as to what happened in 2020. She would have carried the Elessar with her, and used it in her confrontation below the Sawtooth Mountains with a Being who appears to have been a returned Sauron (in some form - not sure how, but the later dialogue involving "Thu", and other clues, largely suggests this).

My very first sync had to do with Robert Frost:

William,
Connect your puzzle pieces. Both Fire and Dry Ice Burns
like the Phoenix. IMHO the sync fairies
are trying to get your attention. Humanity is on the precipice
on a major transformation.

Good Morning Mr. Zip-Zip-Zip!

I woke up with this old song in my head. No idea where it came from. I associate it with my old Scoutmaster (“ Mr. Graff from the FBI ”) and...
