the lamb’s eyes, you see God’s love. The themes in the poems “Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost, “Loveliest of Trees” by A E Housman and “The Lamb” by William Blake, reinforce the author’s purpose of demonstrating the different ways that human beings interact with and develop a perspective on the world they live in using. In “Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost, the author develops the powerful theme of a person’s relationship with nature using repetition and rhyme
many-sided. Frost has an equally keen eye for the sensuous and the beautiful in nature, as well as for the harsher and the unpleasant. Thus, it would be a mistake to suppose that Frost is a mere painter of pleasant landscapes. Rather, the bleak, the barren, and the sinister is more characteristic of his nature-painting. Frost is not concerned with nature as such, he is more concerned with the common human activity that goes in her lap as mowing, apple-picking, birch swinging, etc. Frost was a great
Apple-Picking,” Robert Frost tells the story of an apple-picker who believes that any task completed incorrectly is worthless. Frost’s vivid descriptions of the apple-picker’s experience engage the reader in the poem, causing them to identify with his perspective.

Flowers," and be challenged by the levels of meaning they find here. And in their explorations, as mentioned by Peter Davison in the afterword to this volume, an excellent biography of Frost is Into My Own: The English Years of Robert Frost 1912-1915 by John Evangelist Walsh.

Therese Youso ENG 312: Lyric Poetry Sr. Mary Dominic, O.P. April 28, 2015 Alexander Pushkin and Robert Frost both have written poems about autumn.

Alexander Pushkin was born in Moscow, Russia and lived from 1799 until 1837. He wrote from a very young age, not only writing poetry, but also dramas and novels. He died in a duel when
Blake. At the young age of four, William was convinced that he was seeing visions of God along with other religious beings such as angels. According to a small biography on poets.org, these visions included God putting his head to William’s window and a tree full of angels in a meadow. Because of these “visions,” Blake’s parents decided it would be best to homeschool him, so he learned to read as well as write from his parents. This truly goes to show that you don’t possess an elegant education to
Poetry A Soldier By Robert Frost He is that fallen lance that lies as hurled, That lies unlifted now, come dew, come rust, But still lies pointed as it plowed the dust. If we who sight along it round the world, See nothing worthy to have been its mark, It is because like men we look too near, Forgetting that as fitted to the sphere, Our missiles always make too short an arc.
