Frost was an ordinary man that did extraordinary things with his poems, poems that showed his own struggles and brought light to his loneliness and showed its consequences. Nonetheless, Robert

Robert Frost's 'Desert Places' is a testament to the harrowing nature of solidarity. By subjecting the narrator to the final moments of daylight on a snowy evening, an understanding about the nature of blank spaces and emptiness becomes illuminated.
