Robert Frost’s Use of Nature

Robert frost has many themes in his poetry. One of the main themes

that is always repeated, is nature. He always discusses how beautiful

nature is or how destructive

it can be. Frost always discusses nature

in his poems.

First, in the poem Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening there is

a lot of nature expresses. Frost s very first sentence already talks

about the woods. whose woods these are I think I know (Ln 1, 1105).

Also, in the poem he states that the narrator likes to sit and watch the

snow. He is also a nature lover. In the second stanza Frost refers

back to the woods. He must also like ice, because he brings ice and

cold up a lot in his poems. Once again Frost brings ice up when he

mentions flake and cold wind. Then in the last stanza Frost mentions

woods again. Even though the narrator has a long way to go he always

has enough time to stop and watch the small thing in nature in detail.

Second, in the poem Once by the Pacific there is a lot of nature

expressed. Frost changes his natures view from woods to water. In this

poem he now talks about water. The reader can see how powerful the

water is when it eats away at the cliff. The shore was lucky by being

backed by the cliff(ln 8, 1107). Once again Frost is discussing water

the water because there is water in this poem with snow Frost keeps

bringing
