Robert Frost poem

shared by Emily Miller on 15 Nov 10 - No Cached

- Emily Miller on 15 Nov 10
  
  I think Frost is writing about how life is not always perfect. There are definitely wonderful, "gold" moments throughout life. They do not even have to be decadent moments to be perfect. For example, "green" appears as "gold" and a simple leaf is "a flower." It does not last - "only so an hour" before "Eden" sinks. However, dawn does not turn to night but to day. The perfect moment may have passed, the paradise may be gone, but there is still light.

Poetry teaching confidence

With a black crayonnightfall cameto my purple tentin the middleof an afternoon.
- Mindy Worman on 23 Nov 10
  
  Every time I read this part of this poem, it reminds me forcibly that students have hearts, and they have minds, and our responsibility as teachers goes so far beyond what we can imagine when it comes to protecting and nurturing those hearts and minds.

No more to build on there. And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs.
- Anna Sayers on 19 Nov 09
  
  The last line always confused me because I always thought it contradicted the, "Call it a day, I wish they might have said" line that occurs earlier in the poem, yet when I look at it now, I realize that he's referring to the workingmen continuing going about their day. This last line illustrates the "show must go on" attitude of business.

And wait then, humped and bloody, For the wits to try it again; and how our spirits Rose when, suddenly sure, It lifted off from a chair-back, Beating a smooth course for the right window And clearing the sill of the world.

  These last four lines are my favorite poetry ever. Every time I read this stanza, I feel the emotion as fresh as I did the first time. The fanciful longing to linger over something as simple and beautiful as snow falling on woods is so evocative, and yet "the real world" interrupts every time. It's such a melancholy sentiment, and yet one that is so frequent.
