Blue laws and dry counties—just another reason not to dwell in some place.
Dwell where you think best, zmjezhd, but here in Blount County no winos dwell in the streets.
But I do like your asides; you are at your cutest when you sneer.

Yes, that's because they're driving to the nearest wet county as fast as Sherman heading for Atlanta.
But I do like your asides; you are at your cutest when you sneer.
And you are best in your sulking and silence.
Ceci n'est pas un seing.

Yeah, as I was saying to my pal Andy as I drove his pick-up truck through a driving rainstorm to the beer store over to the nearest wet county to get a case of long-neck Buds, I said, you know, Andy, that guy Frost wrote some damn good poetry but he was unquestionably a vertiginous vision of perspectival relativism.
"Drive." said Andy, "Drive".
I'm still LOL, on the second read. You are quite the raconteur, Milo, and you tell a good story, too.

Why thank you, Anna, nice compliment.  Maybe you could charm Mister R'lyeh into being my bud.

Somewhere, in the next county
Blue laws fly
New York winos are drinking
Why oh why can't I?
Some day I'll wish upon a bar
And wake up where the law is far behind me
Where rivers flow with chardonnay
"Drinks on me" is what I'll say
That's where you'll find me

Well , Robert Frost can't complain about not getting an affluent toast.

I think Trilling's opinion says more about Trilling than it does about Frost. OTOH Perhaps Trilling was aiming to say something/anything about Frost that had not been said before. Perhaps Trilling abhors sugary tributes and was just plain raisin' hell!
Like the guys being driven home very late from a party. One guy says to driver "We've passed that sign before! We are lost, aren't we." Driver says "Yeah, but we are making great time!"

Give him time. Took me years, and my people are from your neck of the woods.

It may not be Frost; I don't know. But it was a fun read.
