Stopping by Woods on
a
Snowy Evening
Snowy Evening
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
to watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
to stop without a farmhouse near
between the woods and frozen lake
the darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
to ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
but I have promises to keep,
and miles to go before I sleep,
and miles to go before I sleep.

Analysis of the poem stopping by woods
Stopping
by woods on a snavy Evening by Robert Frost. The present poem of Robert Frost
can be considered as a poem of "KARMA YOGA" or a person's sense of
duty. The literary meaning of this poem is simple but applied meaning is
significant. On General sense it is about journey of the person in dark
wood jungle. And we can see the description of beauty of jungle. So it just
basic observations of the poem. But if we think deeply about the poem so
it is about our human life. In our life many times we think to stop but our
life never stopped because miles to go before I sleep. This is the last line of
the poem but very important as well as significant. So it talks about human
life and its deep philosophy. The word dark suggests poets despair, because he couldn't
get the accepted price of his agri cultural products. The sleep is not a comman
sleep in the last two line of the poem. It stand for death and here this poem
becomes a poem of "KARMA YOGA" A man may came across beautiful
sights, places and individual's but man mast not make there final stage, man
should go on and on doing his duties and "KARMA". The day man stops
performing his duty and karma, this day of his death though that person may
live biologically. The lesson of the poem is importance of KARMA in life and
duty is more important then beauty. So it is very famous poem. It is
adventurous poem. It is also about the darkness of human life.
So, it is wonderful poem and I like one line from the poem as under,
" And miles to go before I sleep"

Now let's know about some
another poem as under,
Fire and Ice
Some say the world will end in fire,
some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
to say that for destruction ice
is also great
and would suffice.
Analysis of the poem
"fire and ice"
This
short poem of Robert frost enterprise his own thinking about how probably the
Earth would be destroyed. The Indian
oriental myth and the western myth both suggest that there would be the end of
this earth. The Indian oriental myth suggests that the earth would be destroyed
of because of water and the western Christian myth suggest that the earth would
be destroyed because of fire. This we find in the first stanza of poem.
"Some say the
world will end in fire,
some say in ice."
some say in ice."
Some people are of
the opinion that the earth would be destroyed because of fire while some others
think that the earth would be destroyed because of ice-water. The poet has made
study about desire of the people on the basis of that study the poet comes to a
conclusion that the earth would be destroyed because of the fire of never
ending desires.
The present poem shows the
poets thinking about it. This poem is about the fate of the world. What will
happen? Some people saying that world destroy in fire while some people are saying
that world destroy in ice or because of ice. It is our thoughts we never known
how it will ends? But it is just point to think about it.
It is not just it because symbolically poet connects desire with fire and hatred with ice. These two words used as metaphorical. So now if we think deeply that how it will end? So, now it is about humanity that in our human beings how we ends? If we have many desires so it will end of the person. If we are hatred of human then also it will end. So, everything too much is not good for anybody. So once again it is about deeply philosophically. So let's know about one more poem as under,

The
Gift Outright
The land was ours before we were the
land’s.
She was our land more than a hundred
years
before we were her people. She was ours
In Massachusetts, in Virginia,
But we were England’s, still colonials,
Possessing what we still were unprocessed
by,
Possessed by what we now no more
possessed.
Something we were withholding made us
weak
until we found out that it was ourselves
we were withholding from our land of
living,
and forthwith found salvation in surrender.
Such as we were we gave ourselves outright
(The deed of gift was many deeds of war)
to the land vaguely realizing westward,
but still unstoried, artless, unenhanced,
Such as she was, such as she would become.
Analysis of the poem "Gift outright"
This
poem of Robert frost can we concider as a poem of colonials conflict in America
between the Native American and the settler who from different countries of
Europe settled in America. The poet as decedent of those settlers writes this
poem about conflict between settlers as colonizers and native people as
colonized. In the first stanza we find
the poet's love for his country.
"The
land was ours before we were the
land’s."
"She was our land more than a hundred
years"
land’s."
"She was our land more than a hundred
years"
This is patriotic poem;
we can see the world of America when they were try to develop their nation. So
we can see two types of world in this poem one is old one connected with
England while another one is new world which is establishment of America. So it
is about how they are struggling while developing their country. So, after all
we can say that it is pure patriotic poem. So we must have to think like that.
