Question

neighbour-lain crichton smith compare and contrast it with mending wall-robert frost and attempt a critical appreciation

Answer 1

Answer:

"Mending Wall" is a very popular poem by the famous American poet, Robert Frost. Although it appears to be a simple poem at the first glance, it actually yields to multiple interpretations at various levels. But primarily the poem is about walls and their relevance. In the poem "Neighbour" Ian Crichton deals with a very similar theme. It is about building bridges across obstacles that separate neighbours.

There is a vivid rustic image of two neighbours separated by a stream in between. The poet can clearly see across as his neighbour is ready for work in the morning wearing dungarees. The poet wishes to have a bridge over the stream connecting both of them. In the poem "Mending Wall" also, we see two neighbours. But they are busy repairing the damaged wall between their properties.
