The wall not obstacle or barrier, but something that connects, serves to define the space in- and outside it. A liminal space. The purpose of Hadrian's Wall was regulating passage, uniting a region. And the wall in Robert Frost's famous poem is also something held in common rather than something divisive, which is the common assumption.
