Read the excerpt from "Mending Wall." Something 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 repair Where 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. Whom does the speaker blame for the gaps in the wall?
The speaker first says that “something” sends the frozen ground swelling beneath the wall and spills the boulders, pointing to nature. He also says hunters leave sections broken while trying to get rabbits out of hiding. So he blames nature and hunters for the gaps, not the rabbits, dogs, or his neighbor.
