let's think about Mending Wall in light of Christopher Alexander https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems-and-poets/poems/detail/44266 …
-
the narrator mocks his neighbor a bit but the narrator is HIMSELF the one who bugs his neighbor to repair the wall every year
"something there is that doesn't love a wall" yes, it's entropy and decay - these boundaries are what define space for peopling

boundaries create good spaces - the light, raised platform, awnings etc. create space for sitting AND walkingpic.twitter.com/NFDdXYkpCs
-
where there are no good boundaries, uses conflict and nobody likes itpic.twitter.com/q2ogFGLCS8
-
boundaries are created by both "sides" - a product of mutual expression of intelligence, will, life (stone wall in Mending Wall)
-
good boundaries like this in art abound - each "side" made from complementary (if not equal) complexity, harmonizingpic.twitter.com/sTj8LIZixO
-
good boundaries make "outdoor rooms" - lack of boundaries, lack of positive space make dead spaces nobody will usepic.twitter.com/GvOAbcZmeC

here are some boundaries that are NOT harmonious expressions of mutual intelligence, life, will lolpic.twitter.com/k4vN6Nz6ky
-
boundaries made of harmonious complexity of equally-alive parts also appears in music - I'm a philistine but two examples:
-
beach boys stack-o-vocals God Only Knows - harmony in the second half https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_pO1xeRh0Ro …
-
& timbaland's little symphony Lovestoned - first part (dance track) perfectly bounded from/connected with interlude https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QUuKvHHt8Sk …
