Design The Supernatural Quotes

How we cite our quotes: (Line)

Quote #1

On a white heal-all, holding up a moth (2)

Of all the flowers to pick, Frost chose a heal-all, a flower with a heavy supernatural vibe. It can be brewed into a drink and used to treat things like sore throats and fevers. Even more eerie, this heal-all is white—it's supposed to be blue.

Quote #2

Like the ingredients of a witches' broth (6)

The reference to Macbeth brings to mind the whole creepy list of things that get thrown into a cauldron, from "eye of newt" to "lizard's leg." In this poem, it hints at the possible control of supernatural forces.

Quote #3

What brought the kindred spider to that height
Then steered the white moth thither in the night? (11-12)

The key words in these not-so-supernatural lines are "brought" and "steered." These verbs imply that something out there is arranging all our lives, orchestrating events for better or for worse.
