However‚ it is not until line 15 that the saw takes on the characteristics of a double-edged sword. The author carefully phrases his sentence‚ noting that “the saw…leaped out at the boy’s hand” (Frost 17). Instead of placing

    On ‘Acquainted with the Night’ ‘Acquainted with the Night’ by Robert Frost is the kind of poem I would read if I were up late at night‚ feeling disconnected from my friends and family. It has a sort of comforting eeriness‚ the kind that could lull you to sleep‚ yet keep you up thinking for hours. It makes me feel detached and lonesome‚ but still at rest. Robert Frost’s imagery like “I have outwalked the furthest city light” and “one luminary clock against the sky” gives the reader a calm but

    over dying or already dead creatures. In both of these two poems - “The Oven Bird” by Robert Frost and “Encounter” by Czeslaw Milosz - birds serve as symbols – but in drastically different ways.

    Critical response Robert Frost –The Oven Bird This poem contains 14 lines and is written mainly in iambic pentameter with a little variation in some lines.
