Stopping by woods on snowy evening by Robert Frost
Summary :-
The poem is a conflict between the duties of life and desire to exhale them. Strange
voices lure us away to nature. Friendly voices call us back to the world of men.
It is a very beautiful and symbolic poem. It is written by a world famous poet “Robert
Frost”. It is considered his master piece. It seems that the poet is captivated by nature. In order to
enjoy nature, he flees to the woods. Woods belong to a human. The poet knows this fact very well
that the owner’s house is in the village. He will not see him stopping by the woods and watching
them filled with snow. On the dark evening his horse will not even stop. It will be anxious to make
the poet move to his destination. There is no sound all around except the hissing of wind on the
poet move to his destination. There is no sound all around except the hissing of wind on the grass.
The other world or the world of fancies captivates him. But his friends, which are his obligations,
call him back to the world of reality. That’s why; the poet says:
And miles to go before I sleep
And miles to go before I sleep
Sleep stands for everyday sleep as well as death. The poet says that we should enjoy the
beauty of nature as well as take rest. But at the same time, we are travellers. We should always
keep in mind our real aim of life. Then we should continue our struggle to get this aim till death.
