Dear MR

I tried to learn more about Appalachia using the google ( more than a
year
ago, though) and one of the sites insisted that Appalachia included
states
from Florida up to Maine, with the exception of New England ( Frost's, I
imagine). If that information is true, at least according to some
unspecified criteria, VN might have deliberately planted the "New Wye,
NE"
to mark a mistaken assumption. From the poem we know N.Wye is not
mountainous ( these are to be found in its opposite Yew... )
