April 4, 2007 Analogy of Robert Frost Poetry.
Robert Frost, who was born in March 26 1874, was a writer of traditional aspects portraying his life and his view of nature Frost was a person of form, he always played by the rules and even within the poems he wrote. Frost is considered one of the greatest twentieth century poets. His poetry was written by certain structural rules. Robert Frost liked to write using figurative language. Frost has a versatile optimistic view of life using symbolic figures of nature and beauty to bring about life his his eyes. There are three great poems by Frost for which present a great meaning to nature and life. The poems I will discuss are Nothing Gold Can Stay, The Road not Taken, and Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening ( The Academy of American Poets.)
In the first poem Nothing Gold Can Stay Frost puts a great emphasis on the natural cycle of change personifying it with the beauty of a leaf.
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower,
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day
Nothing gold can stay.
The author incorporates iambic pedameter with a simple, yet form rhyme scheme which brings the poem to life. The first few lines form a simple foreshadowing paradox of the seasons, representing a leaf changing. A basic metaphor of nature, which represents a human cycle. In line "Then leaf subsides to leaf" and "So dawn goes down to day" illustrates a certain point within society of how once you evolve into adulthood and maturity; one is no longer innocent and new ( Line 5, and 7).
In the first line where it says green is gold, green is more of a synonym for immaturity. Once Maturity is reached, the inability to remain an individual changes. Within the human cycle, knowledge usually occurs with growth. Within the line "So dawn
