  "West-Running Brook" is a collection of poetry by the renowned American poet Robert Frost, first published in 1928. The title poem serves as the centerpiece of the collection, with the overarching theme of the flow of time and the interconnectedness of past, present, and future. 
  In "West-Running Brook," Frost uses the metaphor of a brook that flows contrary to the usual direction, symbolizing the poet's own journey against the current of conventional wisdom and tradition. The brook becomes a powerful symbol of resilience and individuality, as well as a reflection of the poet's own introspection and exploration of the human experience. 
  Throughout the collection, Frost's signature style of writing in accessible yet profound language is evident. His poetry often explores themes of nature, rural life, and the complexities of human existence. With vivid imagery and keen observation, Frost invites readers to contemplate the beauty and mystery of the natural world, as well as the deeper truths and universal truths that lie beneath the surface. 
  Among the notable poems in the collection are "Spring Pools," which reflects on the cyclical nature of life and the passage of time; "The Silken Tent," a metaphor for the delicate balance between strength and flexibility in human relationships; and "Desert Places," which explores themes of isolation and existential despair amidst the vastness of the natural world. 
  "West-Running Brook" showcases Frost's mastery of form and language, as well as his ability to capture the complexities of the human condition with depth and nuance. Through its exploration of timeless themes and its lyrical beauty, the collection remains a testament to Frost's enduring legacy as one of America's most beloved poets.

  In this book "The Dream of Little Tuk": 
  Ah! yes, that was little Tuk: in reality his name was not Tuk, but that was what he called himself before he could speak plain: he meant it for Charles, and it is all well enough if one does but know it. He had now to take care of his little sister Augusta, who was much younger than himself, and he was, besides, to learn his lesson at the same time; but these two things would not do together at all. There sat the poor little fellow, with his sister on his lap, and he sang to her all the songs he knew; and he glanced the while from time to time into the geography-book that lay open before him.
