Brandy Franck Eng 102-2003 Lujan Due 10/21/14 Poetry Explication of “Digging” Seamus Heaney’s "Digging" is a daydream about the differences between the narrator’s career choice and that of his father and grandfather.

misinterpreted and misunderstood poems‚ regardless of its own renown‚ in the world. Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken” is often remembered for its resonanting metaphor‚ memorized for a meaning it does not really have‚ all without ever really being read.

Shakespeare himself appears to be the speaker in the poem‚ whereas the young man is to whom Shakespeare is conveying his message. In the first quatrain‚ the poet unmistakably bids farewell
