How does Robert Frost represent nature in "Dust of Snow" ?!
Answers
Answer:
Dust of Snow is only eight lines long and seems to be the simplest of short poems. With full end rhyme and short lines on the surface the two stanzas appear to be nothing more than a snapshot of a trivial event concerning a crow, a tree, snow and a human being.
Yet, as always with Robert Frost, you know that beneath the surface there will develop deeper worlds of meaning and possibility. As Frost himself wrote:
'It is what is beyond that makes poetry - what is unsaid in any work of art. Its unsaid part is its best part.'
So it is with this tiny poem. The reader might take only fifteen seconds to recite it but once finished there could well be several hours spent on, or several ways of, working out what the message is, if any.
Dust of Snow has as its main themes:
communication between nature and humans.
nature healing and helping with negative human emotions.
the significance of small natural events
