  Robert Frost

Introduction:

                        Robert Frost (1874-1963) who drew his image from the New England countryside and his language from New England. Frost’s poetry helped provide a link between the American poetry of the 19^th century and that of 20^th century see also American literature poetry.

Life:

          Robert Lee Frost was been in san Francisco , California the son of William pres colt Frost Jo of New Hampshire and Isabella Moodier of Scotland .He was commander of the confederate armies during the American civil war (1861-1865).

      Frost continued to write poetry, but he was unsuccessful at publishing his work. Forts fist success in his book of poem “A Boy’s Will” (1913) was printed by the first English publisher that Frost approached. Forts second collection “NORTH OF BOSTON” was published in 1914 and also won praise.

     In England Frost not great poet their other grad writer Ezra Pound.

In 1915 Frost and his family returned to the United States where his poetry had become popular. In 1961 at the inauguration of president John.F.Kennedy. Frost becomes fist poet to read a poem “The Gift Outright” at a presidentilto. 

Work:

    Frost’s poetry mainly reflects life in rural New England, and the language he used was the uncomplicated speech of that region. Much of his poetry is conceored with how people interact with their environment and though he saw beauty of nature he also saw its potential dangers.

              Frost dislikes free verse. This was popular with many writers of his time and many writers of his lime and instead used traditional metrical and physical schemes. Frost listened to the speech in his country he recorded it.

            Frost’s 1923 volume New Hampshire earned him fist of four prizes that he would win over the next 20 years.

            Frost’s collected (1930) won his second politer prize. And his next two collection “A Further Danger” (1936) and “A Witless Tree” (1942). Also won Pulitzers. Frost wrote two plays in blank verse. The fist “A Masque of Reason” (1945) second “A Masque of Meny”(1947).

             In this poem see to nature is the fist also there name suggest a nature in the poem. In his nature poem his also nature it’s fist.

            Frost poem creation is the disruptive nature. “Mending Wall” is the opening poem of Frost’s second volume, “North of Boston” and Frost’s this volume is the psychological necessities of sustaining supreme fictions. It does not take more than one reading of the understand that the speaker is not a country primitive who is easily spooked by the normal processes of nature. The artful vagueness of the phrase “Something there is “ is enchanting and magical suggesting even the bushed tones of reverence before mystery in anchor. And the speaker consciously works at deepening that sense of mystery.

              Frost different poem his related to nature has all so different. And other poem also suggests human life and regions it’s main in his poem.

                One snowy evening, poet canters through the woods and stops to see the beauty of nature. Frost is tempted to stay ling to enjoy the beauty of lively, dark and deep woods. This poem snowy woods and beautiful evening. This poem to see journey from life-death-life.  

Ø Frost As a Poet Of Nature:

·      Opinion of critics:

                                          The question whether Frost is a great nature-poet or not has been hotly debated. There are those, like Alvarez who do not regard him as a nature-poet at all, but as a poet of country in 1952, “I guess I am not nature-poet”. Frost has so many and such excellent poems about nature scenery and has wild life. Frost’s nature poetry is so excellent and so characteristic that it must be given a prominent place in any account of his art.

·      Nature : Local and Regional:-

                                               Frost is a great love of nature and his love, too, like that of Wordsworth, is local and regional. It is the region that lies to the north of Boston, which fords the background to his portray. It is the hills and duels, rivers and forests, trees, flowers, and plants, animals, birds and insects, season and seasonal changes of his particular region, which has been described in one poem after another   and his descriptions are characterized by accuracy and minuteness.

       The descriptive power of Mr. Frost is to me the most wonderful thing in his poetry.

-        Insider Snider.

A snowfall, aspiring thaw, a bending tree, a valley mist, a book, these are brought not do but into the reader. The method is simple and can be analyzed what he described is never a spectacle only, but an entire adventure. In our singing strength we fallow him all most see him on his knees trying to feel with his hands the process of snow turning into writing numerous poems of Frost. Written at different periods of this life are devoted to the description of the various objects of nature and his description always revels minuteness of observation and tidelity of description.

1.   Frost’s Nature- Love: Comprehensive  and all- inclusive:

Frost’s love of nature is more comprehensive, many sides and all inclusive than that of Wordsworth. Frost can appreciate that “Nature’s fist green is gold”  and he Can enjoy the beauty of nature’s ‘green’  and ‘gold’ but it would  be a mistake to supper that Frost is a more painter of pleasant  landscapes rather the black  the barren and the sinister is more characterized of his nature paintings. Even in Frost’s most cheer full nature sketcher there is always a bitter sweet quality. Admittedly he can dose enjoy nature. His flowers, trees and animals are all described with attention =, none of the nature poems is tree from hinds of possible danger under the placid surface there is always the unseen presence of something outside.

Ø Conclusion:-

Robert frost as a greet poet and as a nature poet. He was a imbricate poet and he work a nature poet. Frost sees to a mind and thinking how they repented in this poem.

We are also study to a Frost poem and see to a great nature poem and use of a river, stones, and tree and make grate poem in his work.
