Build a Privacy Fence

Summary: According to Robert Frost, there is something that doesn't love a wall. It isn't hunters, though they take walls apart to get at the rabbits. It might be Elves, though he would hardly be caught saying it. Something, though, there is that wears away at walls. But they must be there; we must construct our walls. Why?
