The poem ‘The Mending Wall’ by Robert Frost and the song ‘Hey You’ by Pink Floyd share a common universal symbol. In a paragraph or two, explain how the symbol means the same thing in both stories and contrast how the poems use that symbol in different ways.’The Mending Wall’ by Robert FrostSomething there is that doesn’t love a wall,That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,And spills the upper boulders in the sun,And makes gaps even two can pass abreast.The work of hunters is another thing:I have come after them and made repairWhere they have left not one stone on a stone,But they would have the rabbit out of hiding,To please the yelping dogs. The gaps I mean,No one has seen them made or heard them made,But at spring mending-time we find them there.I let my neighbor know beyond the hill;And on a day we meet to walk the lineAnd set the wall between us once again.We keep the wall between us as we go.To each the boulders that have fallen to each.And some are loaves and some so nearly ballsWe have to use a spell to make them balance:’Stay where you are until our backs are turned!’We wear our fingers rough with handling them.Oh, just another kind of out-door game,One on a side. It comes to little more:There where it is we do not need the wall:He is all pine and I am apple orchard.My apple trees will never get acrossAnd eat the cones under his pines, I tell him.He only says, ‘Good fences make good neighbors’.Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonderIf I could put a notion in his head:’Why do they make good neighbors? Isn’t itWhere there are cows?But here there are no cows.Before I built a wall I’d ask to knowWhat I was walling in or walling out,And to whom I was like to give offence.Something there is that doesn’t love a wall,That wants it down.’ I could say ‘Elves’ to him,But it’s not elves exactly, and I’d ratherHe said it for himself. I see him thereBringing a stone grasped firmly by the topIn each hand, like an old-stone savage armed.He moves in darkness as it seems to me~Not of woods only and the shade of trees.He will not go behind his father’s saying,And he likes having thought of it so wellHe says again, ‘Good fences make good neighbors.”Hey You’ by Roger Waters (Pink Floyd)Hey you, out there in the coldGetting lonely, getting oldCan you feel me?Hey you, standing in the aislesWith itchy feet and fading smilesCan you feel me?Hey you, don’t help them to bury the lightDon’t give in without a fight.Hey you, out there on your ownSitting naked by the phoneWould you touch me?Hey you, with your ear against the wallWaiting for someone to call outWould you touch me?Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?Open your heart, I’m coming home.But it was only fantasy.The wall was too high,As you can see.No matter how he tried,He could not break free.And the worms ate into his brain.Hey you, standing in the roadalways doing what you’re told,Can you help me?Hey you, out there beyond the wall,Breaking bottles in the hall,Can you help me?Hey you, don’t tell me there’s no hope at allTogether we stand, divided we fall.
