Robert Frost Poems
Robert Frost was a popular and amazing American poet whose poems are timeless. His works combine three main themes: Love, Nature and Society. The best love poems are: “Love and A question”, “Fire and Ice”, “Reluctance” and “Wind and Window flower”. His poems were short but very deep. An important feature of writing is that readers have to understand a hidden content though the artist vision. Frost was convinced that love can always find a meaning in the world around man:
Robert Frost was born in San Francisco, but his family moved to Lawrence, Massachusetts, in 1884 following his father’s death. The move was actually a return, for Frost’s ancestors were originally New Englanders, and Frost became famous for his poetry’s engagement with New England locales, identities, and themes.
“But whether or not a man was asked
To mar the love of two
The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both. And be one traveler, long I stood. And looked down one as far as I could. To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair. Frost cultivated the public image of a New England sage, and the poems, read carelessly in search of platitudes, often seem to support that view. In American high schools, Frost's poems continue to be misread to teach little moral lessons that the poems themselves actually decisively undercut.
by harboring woe in the bridal house,
The bridegroom wished he knew.”
Frost himself says: “All my poems are love poems”. The pain of love can help us to bear the struggle of life. A very sensitive soul is required to appreciate the love between the men and women in Frost’s poems. Human love has been examined in its different terms: love of wife (husband) mother, children, God, and other men (readers). In any case, a breathtaking feeling of dearness is always connected with struggle and difficulties. However, it makes us life for something.
Robert Frost fell in love with countryside in this regions and the nature around him also was some kind if inspiration. While in England, Frost also established a friendship with the poet Ezra Pound, who helped to promote and publish his work. This woman became a very close and important person in poet’s life.
No wonder, Robert Frost’s quotation is so romantic, tender and realistic nowadays: “Love is an irresistible desire to be an irresistibly desired!”
