Frosts use of nature in poetry

His father was a teacher by profession and later editor of the San Francisco Evening Bulletin. Frost was honored in different occasion and popular quoted with four Pulitzer prizes for poetry. After the death of his father in 1885, the family moved to Massachusetts under the patronage of William Frost. There Frost joined Lawrence school where he graduated in 1892. He attended Dartmouth College long enough to be accepted into the Theta Delta Chi Fraternity. To analyze this theme of nature as used by Robert Frost, the paper will utilize two of his poems; Once by the Pacific and West-Running Brook to demonstrated his writings (Frost, 23). These two poems have several themes and richer interpretations than nature, but Robert’s fans prefer his modest feelings towards nature.

In his “Once by the Pacific” which he wrote in1928, after coming back from Great Britain, the poem is full of a theme of nature. The narrator of the poem explaining a night on an ocean beach when the beach is preparing to destroy its people and land. He describes that continent, shore and cliff are allied together towards the oncoming storm. This observation of nature made Robert to describes vividly his terrifying experiences of boyhood, because with the thought of ocean makes one see the premeditated war against the humankind. In addition, Frost describes that the titan wave is unconquerable foe, through cliffs and shore needs the land supports in order to counter the malignant water forces. In a deep analysis, what Frost was an emphasis in this poem was that threat is faced by an individual, let alone a child.

This use of nature was very significant in Frost’s expressions of his emotion to others because it mad people to felt the general warning “someone had better be prepared for rage”. And Robert ends the poem by making his readers to ask themselves if it is possible that God who ordered our creation could be provoking the ocean to destroy mankind. Finally, in the last stance, Frost is affirming his independence by illustrating using a husband and his wife joint insight into reality. Through this man like brook becomes individual. The poem gains complexity by moving two levels in illustrating how Robert used nature to convene his philosophical issues. First is contrariness which is necessary for human life. To capture the reader’s attention he used to wave, that we human being runs towards it through we always resist, all men run towards the east, to the ocean, where wave originated.

In the above poem it clearly shows how he represents the commonplace not in understanding the natural world or aiming to present the Charming and scenery rural life but rather he is the concern with the psychological condition of human being. He used nature to illustrate everyday struggle with our thoughts. The poems begin with the observation of nature and proceed to make a connection to our daily lives such as confusion, helplessness, loneliness and indifferent human relationship. For instance, in the poem “Once by the Pacific” Robert introduce by describing the titian wave generated by misty din water. This was to convene his childhood emotion and wonder about nature. Therefore, frost used of nature accomplished two things in most of his poems; the close relationship between man and nature and symbolic quality of nature (Chelliah, 23).

The close relationship between man and nature was every essential way for a poet of Frost caliber to convene his thoughts and emotions. Robert uses it because it always gave us hints. For instance, thunder is said to have invented electricity, while falling apple give a hint to Newton to come up with his laws, so Frost so it to be great to express his emotion on time problems(Chelliah, 23). In addition, Frost uses this existing relationship between man and nature, which made this approach to be an effective medium (Chelliah, 23). While a description of ocean wave coming to destroy the land, cliff, and shore, does not actually mean that rather human thought and psychological problems. In conclusion, Robert Frost was a unique poet in modern literature in America in 19th.
