Robert Frost poem deal with man relation with in Universe. This one of the most work quality is elusiveness. This skill make Robert Frost one of the most interesting or continually intriguing American poet. He is a magician whose devices are so artful that readers usually can’t see how he transforms one theme into another.
His poem deals with so many levels and things . Reader find his or her own beliefs about life reflection in frost poetry. He understands the complexity of life. Some say his poem not optimistic but more prevalent than faith. He write on familiar points and experience on human life. Reader reflect his and her life in his poetry so it is a very popular success. But frost some thoughts are raises questions about his poetic achievement. His father was died in a very young age. During his marriage life he was lost his two children. So experience of cathartic quality’s are reflected in his poems.
Stopping by woods on snowing evening is only one of many examples of a poem that has been read with many contradictory interpretations. Readers have variously explained its meaning, ranging from the serenity of a snowy night to the virtues of duty to the lure of death to self-mockery. critic who reads Frost moralistically believing that “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” is a lesson about keeping promises, has fallen into Frost’s trap.
Loneliness
Loneliness is one of Robert's most profound themes throughout in his poetry. His most famous poem is the best example for theme of loneliness “ stopping by woods on a snowy evening”. In this poem speaker says..
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
We don’t know where he is going but it does not seems as if going home to someone. He is not necessarily lonely but he is currently alone. Many of his poems have this feel to them. Some are set in home and farmsteads that are far from other people. Examples is “ Mending Wall”. in this poem two men meet once a year to mend the wall between their farm. And "Out, Out" in which young boy is killed in an accident involving a saw. A doctor get to him but not in time is establishing a great distance between the people in the poem. Another example is “ Home Burial”. In this poem family has buried their young child. in their backyard far from town. The sense of distance that Frost creates in his poetry allow for the sense loneliness of which you speak.
Rural life vs urban life
Rural life verses urban life is also like the Wordsworth’s poetry theme. This theme of poem related to his interest in Nature in every day life. His experience growing up in New England. He expose him as a particular way of life. That seems are less complicated and more meaningful life than city dwellers.
The farmers describes in his poem as unique perspective in the world. As a certain sense of honor & duty in term of their work and community. He is not averse to investigate Urban life in frost’s poem. In the poem “ acquainted with the Night” the narrator describes a someone who lives in big city or town. Robert Frost has more chance to find metaphorical meaning in every day life. He explore the relation between mankind and nature through the glimpse of rural life. Farming community that he expresses in his poetry. Urban life is real but it lack the clarity and quality of life. That is so charming in frost’s work.
Robert Frost’s Nature poetry
Robert frost was lead modern American poet of nature. Mostly his poem was on nature elements. He was so much interested in natural things. His poem are concerned with human psychological conditions. Once said, “some people call me poet for nature because of the
natural setting. But I am not a poet for nature, there is also
something else in my poems.” Robert Frost uses nature as
a background to illustrate people’s psychological struggle
with everyday life. His poems usually begin with an
observation in nature and proceed to the connection to human
situation, such as loneliness, helplessness, confusion, and
indifferent human relationship.
Nature as a Source of Human Wisdom
“How many times it thundered before Franklin took the hint.
How many apples fell on Newton's head before he took the
hint. Nature is always hinting at us. It hints over and over
again. And suddenly we take the hint.”----Robert Frost
Nature is always a hint to us. It hints all the time until we
suddenly see the light. Franklin took the hint of thunder and
invented lightening rod. Newton took the hint of a falling
apple and developed the Law of Universal Gravity. Each of us
benefits from nature. We take hints from nature and strengthen
our knowledge. We may not become giants like Franklin and
Newton, but we can become wiser persons. Nature is a source of human wisdom.
