Every cloud has a silver lining
- Robert Frost
In today's pandemic hit world, life has changed a lot. From taking precautions to staying home, a new normal has been established. Social life has almost come to a standstill. We now meet only those people who mean the most to us. It has made us spend quality time with our loved ones, with those folks who do not judge us, but only love us. So there is lesser showing off and pretence and greater bonding. We have now started focussing on our basic requirements, leaving out the unnecessary aspects and the stress connected to them.
When I sat back and thought about being stuck at home, I realised that I wasn't really stuck. Instead, I had been liberated. Just like the snow had roused me from my thoughts, it took these difficult months for me to understand how life can indeed be less stressful. You simply need to understand your priorities. I now firmly believe that each cloud has a silver lining. One only needs to have a positive attitude to be able to enjoy the beauty of the silver lining.
Answer:
The poem conveys the message of positivity. It tells us that if we take things positively in life, situations do change for better. The poem teaches us that every small act in life can illuminate our soul and motivate us to do better.
The poet is going through a bad day when a crow suddenly shook down on him dust of snow from a Hemlock tree.
The snow instantly makes him happier. Nature made him realize that his problems are petty and he should not waste a day like this.
The crow symbolizes bad omen and Hemlock trees are associated with poison and toxicity. The alluring snow that adorns the poisonous hemlock tree's branches is shaken off by a scary snow. The crow throws the snow on the poet. The snow changes his mood.
He decides to forget the regrets of his life and follow the path of healing of his inner soul.
