SYM-BALL-ISM by ROBERT FROST

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

First Line: THE SYMBOL OF THE NUMBER TEN
Last Line: IN ANY LEAST DEGREE
Subject(s): MATHEMATICS;


The naught for girls, the one for men-
Defines how many times does one
In mathematics or in fun
Go as you might say into zero.
You ask the heroine and hero.
