Hey babe, what you got there?

This is a check from Carvana.

I just sold my car to them.

I went online and Carvana gave me an offer right away.

Then they just picked up the car and gave me this.

Oh, that's a big check.

Well, obviously you could put this towards your next car, or we could finally get that jacuzzi,

or I could start taking tuba lessons, or I could quit my job and write my memoir. Or I can put it towards my next car with Carvana. Sorry, your check, not mine.

Sell your car to Carvana.

Visit Carvana.com or download the app to get a real offer in second.

Welcome back to The Daily Poem here on the Close Reads Podcast Network.

I'm David Kern.

Today is Wednesday, May 20th,

2020. Today's poem is by an old stalwart, perhaps the greatest of the American poets of the

20th century, Robert Frost, turned to him every now and then on this podcast, of course, and in life

in general. He lived from 1874 to 1963. We received four Pulitzer Prizes for his poetry, the

Congressional Gold Medal in 1960 for his poetical works, and was, of course, the Poet Laureate of

Vermont. So one of the essential figures of American poetry, we have all poetry, really.

And the poem that I'm going to read today is called Acquainted with the Knight. It is from 1927. It was published in the Virginia Quarterly Review, and then again in

1988 in his collection called West Running Brook. It goes like this. I have been one acquainted with the night.

I have walked out in rain, and back in rain.

I have outwalked the furthest city light.
