I couldn't agree less. Frost's overriding idea of the sentence
sound, "the sound of sense," though hardly as splashy as
Pound's "Make It New," did much to undercut the genteel
voice in early 20th-century American poetry. Each contributed
greatly to changing the way poetry came to be written after
their innovative early work.
