What is theme of dust of snow?
Answers
Dust of Snow by Robert Frost is a simple tale of having “snow” fall on the narrator to pull him from the unpleasant “mood” that he had previously been in. The simplicity, in the end, is the key element of the work as nature is shown as magnificent enough to bring a person into a pleasant mentality.
Answer:
The short poem by Robert Frost throws light upon the unimaginable healing power of nature and tiny things. From a bad mood to ill-health, there is nothing that can’t be cured by nature. The author was experiencing one such bad day when a crow’s movement near a hemlock tree dusted snow upon him. His day gets a lot better. Thus, the supremacy of nature as a whole made him realise how petty his problem was. The fact that hemlock tree is poisonous combined with crow being the indicator of doom and fear are used in the poem as the carriers of happiness in the life of narrator is ironical. The poet, through these objects has tried to highlight that sometimes creatures linked with negative aspects of life can be the bringer of change and happiness. Being outdoors in nature, with all it’s unpredictability can benefit anyone, anywhere at any time.
