Winning not one but two Pulitzer prizes( Frost Robert Lee), Robert managed to Help bring back people's interest in American poetry . He accomplished this by not writing in the modernist style that most poets used in the 1920s. Instead Robert wrote about nature and rural life in a unique yet traditional style where it almost seemed typical to the readers (Robert Frost).Through several poems and many years Robert Frost has managed to create and express certain thoughts. Some that we value and open our eyes up to and others that we may question. There are some that make us laugh and others that make us sad, somehow all related to a certain season, or a road. Maybe it's the road not taken? How has nature influenced Robert Frost’s poems? Beginning his journey as a city boy on March 26, 1874 in San Francisco, Robert had lived with his father ( Robert Frost). Robert had graduated from Lawrence High school as not only valedictorian but also class poet ( Robert Lee Frost). He tried several different …show more content…
Because of this during winter months Robert would move to Florida where the weather was warmer (Robert Lee Frost). This impacted Robert’s poetry because by using snow and winter in his writings he was able to express feelings towards certain situations and express his love for cold climates.For example the poem “Dust of Snow”. In this poem Robert writes about a crow which usually means something bad, and how a dust of snow from a hemlock tree had changed his heart/mood. On his last 2 lines he says “And saved some part of a day I had hued” in other words the snow enlightened his day which was not going to well. Because of his health problem he was unable to enjoy the snow but just by seeing it, nature managed to bring him that little bit of happiness and write a whole poem about a dust of snow. Because something so simple can make a huge impact in one's
Divided Societies Robert Frost was born on March 26, 1874 and sadly passed away on January 29, 1963. He was considered one of the most famous poets of his time because of all of the amazing works he published. The type of poetry he wrote about could be described as conversational, realistic, and rural. The one I chose to focus on and analyze is the “Mending Wall” which can be considered a controversial and realistic poem.
I remember reading some of his poems as a child, some of his easier poems of course. As I grew older, I begin to realize his importance to poetry, and read more of his meaningful works of literature. One particular poem, “ The Road Not Taken” is a poem that I read and connected with. This poem is one of Frost’s most popular piece of art, and I agree. Basically, “The Road Not Taken” is about a person who is at a crossroad, a fork in a “path”.
Robert Frost’s poems explored the nature in a rather deep and dark way. For example, his poem, “After-Apple Picking” is hidden under a mask that looks like a harvester is just tired and wants to go to sleep after a day of picking apple from tree. However, we learned that this poem has deeper meaning than what is being shown on the surface. This poem is about actually talking about death as a deeper meaning. I think it is really interesting how Robert Frost, as a poet, was able to connect two themes that are completely different and make it into a single poem.
The ice in this case represented the colder they were, the closer to death the person became. The snow that represented hatred did not only surround him, it became a part of him. But after he felt that coldness, it was described as “a small red flame” and coupled with the poem, “Fire and Ice”, where fire represents desire. The flame in this case represented the want to die. With death quite literally getting closer by the second.
The Snow Storm revolve around different aspects of nature, the poems refer to “her” will, force, and art as concepts beyond human comprehension, suggesting nature is an artwork that illuminates human truths and alleviates the struggles of life. Nature has always been an artwork. Existing prior to mankind, the environments of the world have shaped its people and their cultures. Humanity
S. Eliot (who in 1922 had dismissed Frost's verse as "unreadable") grilled him as "perhaps the most eminent, the most distinguished Anglo-American poet now living," who have a "kind of local feeling in poetry . .. can go without universality: the relation of Dante to Florence, . . . of Robert Frost to New
Frost was an imaginative little kid. Frost would hear voices and see things when left alone. This gave Frost more to write about as Frost grew up. Growing up as an imaginative child can affect how Frost acted as an adult and also what Frost wrote about. Frost was born on March 26, 1874 in San Francisco, California.(McMahon)
Robert Frost had to admit his sister Jeanie to a mental hospital in 1920, and shortly after the birth of their second child, there 4 year old son Elliot died of Cholera. Following the death of Elliot, Frost moved his family to a farm in Derry, New Hampshire, that was purchased by his grandfather before he died. Robert and Elinor would attempt to start a life there for the next 10 plus years. This was a great time for Frost’s writing career but a very
Robert Frost’s upbringing influenced greatly the poems that he created. Frost’s mother, a true Scotswoman, was fond of writing verse and passed her writing talents on to her son who was named after Scottish poet, Robert Burns (Thompson). After Frost’s father died, he was uprooted from his former San Francisco residency and moved to Salem, New Hampshire (Thompson). Frost hated New England and included a bit of hostilities towards Yankees in some of his early poetry (Thompson). After the age of twelve, Frost began to take a liking to school and learning (Thompson).

He was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 1960 for his work, and on July 22, 1961, Frost was named poet of Vermont (William H. Pritchard 2000). Frost used imagery to express the world around him. He is known for writing with realistic illustrations of rural life, and his use of controversial speech. Frost often wrote about life around him in New England during the early twentieth century. The time Frost spent in England was one of the most influential times of his life, but sadly it was short-lived.
To the average reader, the simple lines of Robert Frost’s famous poem “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” represent only the surface beauty of nature in its most raw and untouched form. Although this poem is extremely popular and wonderfully written, many fail to comprehend its true significance. “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,” as with many of Frost’s poems, does not appear to be religious; yet the poet’s faith is embedded deep within. The complex religious beliefs of Robert Frost, formed throughout his lifetime, would be a core contribution to the references of both God and nature in much of his poetry. The foundation of Frost’s religion would be set when he was merely a child and would continue to develop and expand throughout his lifetime.
