Question

what is the central theme of poem dust of snow

Answer 1

On a winter’s day, the poet had been forced to step out of his house and walk around in order to accomplish some task or the other. He had been unable to complete his work and so he believed that that particular day would be going to waste. His mood had become sullen and despairing. Suddenly, as he was walking by a wooded area full of hemlock trees, a cow alighted on a branch of one of those trees, causing the mass of snowflakes atop it to rain down on the poet. The snowflakes were so light and miniscule that the poet thought they resembled dust particles more than anything else. However, this raining down of snowflakes upon him did not upset the poet further. In fact, quite the opposite happened. His mood immediately improved, and he was cheered up. He felt joy and thankfulness to be alive on such a beautiful day.

HI

Sometimes, a small simple action has a profound effect on our lives. Similarly, the insignificant dust of snow changed the poet's mood for the rest of the day so he could make better use of it.
