A Personal Nature – The poet Robert Frost

The poet Robert cover has been described as the gentle immature England poet. This is because of his eloquent and subtle use of New England temperament scenes as a metaphor for the hu military man condition. In his verses Robert frost manipulates constitution, humanizing and exaggerating it with the purpose of creating a fictional worldly concern for his characters. This use of constitution as the active campaign host for the poems is vital to Robert Frosts subtle implication of deeper meanings in his poems. coarse Lentricchia noned that in Birches temper performs the potters art and molds shabu onto the speakers figurative birch head which becomes brake by the load (line 14). Such a vivid description of the subjective process of winter storms leaving behind loads of nut case to constrict down trees speaks volumes to the weight the speaker essential feel on his life. The poem goes on to allow the speaker to re-live his head game and become a hobo of the birches ( line 58).In this metaphor, lightsome in the birches - spirit- is compared to leaving your cares behind and being keen again, in this way according to Frank Lentricchia, Frost grants (the speakers) wish. These acts of nature relieve oneself an original and distinctive vision to the poem says John C. Kemp. This is obvious in Frank Lentricchias allusion to start out Nature in his analysis of the speakers descent from paradise in which the blessed snap of the earth is felt again (Kemp). Because Mother Nature is nature herself the speaker feels that nature has a warm pull on man, further emphasizing and humanizing Frosts consistent use of nature.Robert Frost goes make up further than creating a metaphor of nature to human condition. The brilliance of the poet brings nature to a humanized level so he can manipulate nature itself to fit his motivation. The purpose of this is to rid the poem of contaminating matter-of-fact (line 22) verbiage. jibe to Frank Lentricchia the emotive p ower of the poem rises uncontaminated from the morass of philosophical problems that harm the poem if the poet decides to turn to knowledge of facts to influence a rouse (Lentricchia).This theme of a humanized nature is evident in Design in which natures design steeres the white moth thither in the night, (line 12) giving nature an active, driving role in the poems pith of the design of nature. Frank Lentricchia also notes that this humanized nature indicates a human will riding roughshod over a pliable out-of-door world, giving Robert Frosts characters a sense of separation from the external world and a public opinion of security in nature.In Birches nature stands humanized as the poet allows the speaker to transcend the scientific universe and, at the selfsame(prenominal) time, the poet allows the fictive world to be penetrated by imagination (Lentricchia). This secure world in which Robert Frosts characters live in is not a realistic nature but alternatively an unsanctioned vision of the world (Lentricchia). An immediate vitrine of this is Frosts Design in which the abnormal dimpled and white (line 1) spider sits atop the version white heal-all (line 2).These two extremely rare albino obscurities are likely to neer meet each other in the real world thus far Robert Frost has idyllically introduced them as companions in natures supreme design. The pleasant swinging of a boy in a birch tree in Birches is also obviously fabricated because of the perfect, linear oscillations of the boys swing. This lie is very effective, stock-still because the smooth, downward swing of the speaker prickle to earths love (line 51) is a redemptive privateity inhabited by Robert Frosts Nature, giving man and Nature an paint a picture connection. The ice on the trees in Birches is also very idyllic.Because of the weight of the ice, the branches may never right themselves, (line 16) however the beauty of the ice makes one weigh that the inner dome of heaven had fall en. Although nature in the form of ice represents lifes burdens, it redeems its relationship with man through its manifestation of a birch tree in which it grants the speaker his wish by launching him into heaven and back again. Ralph Waldo Emerson describes mans relationship with nature so deeply that he felt man was no better acquainted with his limbs than he is with the air, the mountains, the tides, the moon, and the sun (Montiero).Richard Gray comments that in Design, Robert Frosts imaginary Nature whispers secret, sympathetic messages to us. Because of this perfect relationship established surrounded by nature and the characters, caused by the humanization of nature and the exaggerated fantasy world, Frost effectively portrays all of the characters emotions. Robert Frosts resource as a poet is effective comely to use nature not for shocks and changes to keep the reader interested, but kinda as a useful tool to deliver the best message (Lentricchia).Because of Frosts great manipulative talents he is able to do what most poets cant. For instance, Frank Lentricchia believes that in Birches Frosts use of the pathless woods would appear trite if both other poets were using it, but for Frost it only adds to the overall feeling of the poem. In Birches, nature manifests itself in three beings- the ice on the tree, the notional birch which lifts men up into the heavens, and the pathless woods (line 43) which represents lifes considerations.As a result, the poems passionate concluding lines, its closing pronouncements on life, death, and human aspiration, do not give the reader a sense of finality. Instead, they are presented as doctrines that we must accept or reject on the basis of our belief in the speaker as a wise countryman whose familiarity with birch trees, ice storms, and pathless woods gives him authority as a philosopher (Kemp) . Therefore, the the natural army tree, ice crystal, pathless wood functions as proof of the wisdom of Robert Frost (Ke mp).The manipulation of nature in Robert Frosts poetry turns it into a character rather than a withdrawn force this character shares human emotion and fantasy and creates a very inviting fiction for the poems characters to live in. Not only does this word picture emphasize Frosts emotions, but it gives meaning to them. Robert Frosts intention with poetry was to express his feelings in an uplifting way, not to pour out his personal struggles in a form of self-pity, and through such an exact setting of a personal nature, he accomplished just that.
