The Poetry of Robert Frost: A Treasure of Thoughts

Abstract

The poetry of Robert Frost is a golden treasury of thoughts and morals of common day to day life. The thoughts expressed in the poetry are not direct and straight-forward, rather a combination of beautiful images and symbols, technique and style. Each poem of Robert Frost contains some universal idea or message which is the demand of the day. The beauty of his poetry lies in his deep and profound exploration of some events specially in and around nature and rural surroundings. We all human being are often interacted with various activities of Nature, but the credit goes to Robert Frost who observes the things very minutely and dives deep into the natural objects or events and churns out the truth. As a matter of fact, every object of Nature has something to say, but it all depends upon our observation. As the milk contains the oil or ghee, but we don’t see it. But when it is churned by a milkman, both milk and ghee are separated. In the same way, Robert Frost, like a milkman churns the poems and takes out its essence in the form of ideas and messages which are very relevant today. This research paper is devoted to a critical study of some well-known poems of Robert Frost and examines and elucidates the various thought and ideas hidden in the poetry.
