Let Us Walk In The White Snow

The first line of the poem “snow falling and night falling” (Frost 1) sets a repetitious feel, but Frost implies more to this phrase. The “snow”(1) typically describes something white a pure. Also, snow often creates an atmosphere that is quiet and soft. Contrarily, “night” (1) comes with the ending of the day. Some bugs or animals come out because they are nocturnal.

Enjambment in the poem sets the mood. The mood is that as of a snowfall, quiet cold, settled and slow. The poem does not need to rush its thoughts into a sentence or a stanza. By separating the thoughts into different lines and stanzas forces the reader to read slowly as that of a snowfall. The reader reads the poem peacefully, which depicts the images of a peaceful snow, covered forest.

In the second stanza it is the semantic field of cold: ‘winter’, ‘ice’, ‘naked’, ‘snow’. All these lexical items give us a feeling of cold which evokes loneliness, unknown, fear.

1. The author uses an AB rhyme scheme in the poem to create a lyrical flow throughout the poem which helps emphasize the gloomy and depressing setting of the winter time.

why he stopped, may be he doesn’t know himself. May be, he is comparing the beauty of nature to something, but on a symbolic level, the snow strongly reminds me that the poem is set in winter, and which is also widely represented as the image of death.

“Snow Bound”, a poem describing the joyous day for a boy who experienced snow for the first time. Author, John Greenleaf Whittier uses imagery perfectly. “The blue walls of the firmament, no cloud about, no earth below-a universe of sky and snow.” The author describes the setting of the poem by his use of rich and creative imagery.

Like all art, there are endless ways for this piece to be interpreted evoking countless emotions depending on the experiences of the person. The goal of an artist, is to inspire thought and conversation, which this piece does beautifully. The best thing about snow, is how it can completely change the atmosphere of a scene. When I look at the piece, I can feel the cold and hear the deafening silence that comes with a winter storm. I love that snow can lead to some many sensations, from feeling cozy and safe by the fire, to a cold dreadful feeling of complete isolation. When there is nothing but the sounds of branches snapping under the heft of something that seems so weightless and the crunch as you walk along something that appears so soft,

Upon reading this poem I was not sure what it was going to be about. Thru my first read I still didn’t really understand what happened during the poem. With the use of older grammar and dialogue I was a little lost and had to read the poem a couple times to really understand what happened in the poem. What a story that Frost told in such a short poem with the setting being on a small country farm in New England. He does a great job of sharing what is going on and the environment. His use of great personification allows and really connects with the readers so they can see what is going to happen next. He gives the saw almost human like emotions, sounds and actions to make the story interesting in explaining what is about to happen to this

Frost gives new meaning to some of the elements of nature used in this poem that stereotypically represent the opposite. One of the symbolic elements of the poem is the little horse representing safety. The horse sees what is happening in the woods and finds nothing interesting and wants to go on. On the other hand, the man forgets what he is thinking about to watch the scene. The man thinks that the “winter snow is like a warm comforter descending on the land and on one’s soul for a long, peaceful slumber after a year of hard work and toil” (“Introduction.”

Whereas the imagery “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” “teases … with a near-nihilism” (Bloom 7), the falling snow in “Desert Places” strongly points to nihilism. The fast-falling snow “[refuses] to communicate: it says and means nothing” (Kendall 352). The snow blankets the surroundings; the ground is “almost covered smooth in snow” and the animals, the living elements, are “smothered in their lairs”. The “concrete blankness” (Oster 199) created by the falling snow alludes to the fear of having “no expression, nothing to express”. In a biological context, “this fear of nothing to say was … constant to Frost” (Oster 201). Using falling snow is significant because it denotes a nothingness that continues; as the persona “relates the snowy

A poem is an experience, not a thought. It is an experience both the author and the reader share with one another. Authors of poems use tones, keywords, hidden messages, irony, and diction to create their work. They use these tactics so the reader thinks about what they are reading and try evaluating what the message is that the reader wants to get across. In the poem “Snow” by Louis MacNeice, he uses these same characteristics to get the readers mind active in the words. Let’s examine the poem “Snow” and see what the meaning behind this poem is.

"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" is a very well know poem by Robert Frost. The poem appears to be very simple, but it has a hidden meaning to it. The simple words and rhyme scheme of the poem gives it an easy flow, which adds to the calmness of the poem. The rhyme scheme (aaba, bbcb, ccdc, dddd) and the rhythm (iambic tetrameter) give the poem a solid structure. The poem is about the speaker 's experience of stopping by the dark woods in the winter evening with his horse and admiring the beauty of the fresh fallen snow in the forest. Then, the speaker projects himself into the mind of his horse, speculating about his horse 's practical concerns and the horse communicates by

Throughout the song, winter is shown as a continuous metaphor used to symbolise misery. It’s the salient metaphor of the song as it is repeated and constantly referenced. The composer chose to display winter in a more cold, lonesome and depressive manner. The surrounding cold of winter that seems to never disperse illustrates the lack of warmth and happiness in his life. This is further reinforced with the lack of sunlight in the winter.

The speaker of 'Frost at Midnight' displays a characteristic reverence for nature – possibly the essential concern of Romanticism. In pious tones, he describes the "far other scenes" where his son will pass his boyhood "By lakes and sandy shores, beneath the crags/ Of ancient mountain" (lines 55-56). But it is not simply by the use of such grandiose language describing the topography of nature that nature is represented in the poem. By recalling his own
