In this quote by Yevgeny Yevtushenko, what does the word "frontier" mean? "Poetry is like a bird, it ignores all frontiers"? Wilderness Without boundaries Beginnings Waterfalls @ayyookyndall B?

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

B?

OpenStudy (ayyookyndall):

I thought it was A

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

hmm

OpenStudy (ayyookyndall):

We should get a second opinion.

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

hmmm proably A

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

@k_lynn @bibby

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

If you said A, you would be saying Poetry is like wilderness.

OpenStudy (ayyookyndall):

Well its comparing poetry to a bird.. Then the bird to frontier. And a bird lives in the wilderness.

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

In that sentence, it doesn't really make sense. That's why I don't think it's A. Here's some of the definitions of frontier. http://prntscr.com/6d41zs

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

So I would say your original guess was right @AlexandervonHumboldt2

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

ok thx @k_lynn

OpenStudy (ayyookyndall):

so that means it has boundaries so its not B

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

but hmm frontier is a boundary?

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

ahh thx them so B

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

\(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @AlexandervonHumboldt2 "Poetry is like a bird, it ignores all frontiers"? \(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\) it ignores them.

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Yep, B is right :)
