**//Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening//** **by Robert Frost** ** Background ** Robert Lee Frost was born on 26 March 1875 in San Francisco, California. His father worked as an editor in the West Coast frontier town and his mother was a housewife. Frost was only ten years old when his father passed away, and spent most of his youth in New England, his mother’s hometown. He attended high school in Lawrence, Massachusetts, and on graduation was co-valedictorian of his class. Frost first published a poem when he was in high school. By the time he completed his secondary studies, he had decided to be a poet. He showed no interest in attending college, but went to further his studies at Dartmouth and Harvard University dues to his grandparents’ pressure. He dropped out of Dartmouth after two months, returned to Lawrence and spent five years teaching school and working as a reporter for a local paper. He again dropped out of Harvard University after less than two years. So his grandfather gave him a farm in New Hampshire with a proviso that he worked it for ten years. He farmed, taught in school, and published a few poems at the same time. But only a handful of publishers were willing to publish his works. Frost never gave up, because he was an independent, determined, confident, young man, and doggedly and unassisted to developed his craft. So in1912, he and his family moved to a small rural town in England. In 1913, // A Boy’s Will // was in the hands of English reviewers who proclaimed the debut of a new and exceptional poet. // North of Boston // was published a year later and managed to prove his ability to present in simple but unforgettable phrases his trenchant observations, his thoughts, and feelings. After spending two years in England, he moved his family back to the US and brought some farms in New Hampshire and in New England. His poems can be appreciated in Mountain Interval (1916), // New Hampshire // (1923), // Collected Poems // (1930), // A Further Range // (1936), and // A Witness Tree // (1942), all whom were awarded the prestigious Pulitzer Prizes. Frost passed away in 1963. ** The Poem ** (** // Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening // **) Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound’s the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake. The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep. ** Introduction ** If we look at Frost’s poem // Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening // for the first time, a certain kind of sense comes to us almost immediately for it contains no difficult words (dictions) and it is simple to understand. ** Analysis ** 1) ** Grammar ** Frost’s poem, // Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening // consists of four** beats ** (** tetrameter **). Each foot contains two ** syllables **, also known as ** iambic **, which is the most natural rhythm in colloquial English. From his simple upbringing, Frost has consciously and purposefully chosen the rhyming scheme:  …. Know a ** b ** ** c ** ** d ** …. deep  …. Though a b c d …. keep  …. Here ** b ** ** c ** ** d ** d …. sleep  …. Snow a d c d …. sleep  Frost purposefully uses ** sentence ** ** fragments ** in his poem, whereby the subject often appears later. Perhaps, he consciously uses sentence fragments for emphasis like:  Whose words these are I think I know.  His house is in the village though;  however, “His house is in the village though;” is incomplete or is of mixed construction.  Frost also uses ** coordination ** (** and **) to end his poem as in:  And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep. but he is also clever as to not to overcome coordination in the poem. Frost also applies ** subordination ** in his poem when two related idea of unequaled importance appear in two lines as in: Whose woods these are I think I know. (** Talking about woods **) His house is in the village though; (** Talking about his house **) For agreement between a subject and a verb, Frost does it correctly whereby, a singular ** subject ** takes a singular verb and ** plural noun ** takes a plural verb. For example: His house ** is ** in the village though; He ** gives ** his harness bells a shake Frost uses the ** simple present tense ** in his poem and he has avoided shifts in tense in the poem. Hence, he has successfully pen his poem for us to see them as it is still there. Whose woods these ** are ** I think I know. His house ** is ** in the village though; 2) ** Punctuation ** Frost does not play with punctuation (comma and period) too much in his poem. He hardly use them, when it is at the end of a line. So far, there is only ** one apostrophe ** as in “The only other sound’s the sweep” showing contraction.  There are hence, ** no quotation marks ** or other punctuation marks, such as question mark, exclamation print, and so on.  3) ** Mechanics ** Frost has use capital letters correctly in his poem, as it should be. All the opening lines start with a capital letter. There is hardly any present of abbreviation, numbers or italics. 4) ** Spelling ** Frost’s poem does not have hyphens. It has so far, a feral silent ‘e’ as in “harn** ess **”, “lov** e **ly”, “promis** es **”, “froz** en **”, and “dark** est **”.  5) ** Diction ** Frost uses ** active ** ** vocabulary ** when he writes, containing both ** connotation ** and ** denotation ** devices, whereby the meanings are clear and literal. He has a certain feeling like in the last two lines of his poem: And miles to go before I ** sleep **, And miles to go before I ** sleep **. and “sleep” here can be interpreted as “death” or “sleep” in the true sense. There is no jargon, slang, or accents present. ** Poetic Characteristics ** Frost’s poetic style is contingent. His diction is informal, plain, and conversational and his plurals are simple and direct. He uses and refines the natural speech patterns and rhythms of New England, polishing the language that people actually speak and fashioning it into a compact and terse poetic texture. Structurally, Frost’s poems typically move in smooth, uninterrupted flows from an event or an object, through a metaphor, to an idea. Within this pattern he usually describes a complete even rather than a single version. The heart of the poem is the image or metaphor which is sharply into focus and skillfully interwoven within each poem. Frost preferred traditional poetic focus and rhythms and he was so ** disapproving of free verse **. We therefore find conventional rhyme schemes and clear meters in much of his work. ** Poetic Subjects ** Frost’s poems are usually based in everyday life and rural settings, which are occasioned by flowers, stone fences, woodcutting, picking apples, sleigh riding, falling leaves, children, insects, birds, horses, and so on. However, Frost’s poetic structure always moves from such subjects toward philosophical generalization about life and death, survival and impossibility, and nature and humanity. His poems are easily accessible, but they are no mean simple. It runs deep; they may be complex and ambiguous. ** References ** Brown, Reuben A. // The poetry of Robert Frost //.

The Man He Killedby Thomas Hardy **Background** Thomas Hardy was born in Dorsetshire, in southwest England, in 1840. He worked as an architect before giving it up to become a novelist. In 1898, after publishing a handful of novels such as //Tess of the D’Urbervilles//, //The Return of the Native//, and //Jude the Obscure//, he gave up writing novels and began writing poems. Before his death in 1928, he had published eight volumes of verse, which were collected and published posthumously in 1931. **The Poem** (**//The Man He Killed//**) “Had he and I but met By some old ancient inn, We should have set us down to wet Right many a nipperkin!” “But ranged as infantry, And staring face to face, I shot at him as he at me, And killed him in his place. “I shot him dead because- Because he was my foe. Just so: my foe of course he was; That’s clear enough; although “He thought he’d ’list,° perhaps, Off-hand like-just as I- Was out of work-had sold his traps”-­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­ No other reason why. “Yes; quaint and curious war is! You shoot a fellow down You’d treat if met where any bar is, Or help to half-a-crown.” ° **Analysis** 1) **Grammar** a. **Sentence Fragments**  In Hardy’s poem, //The Man He Killed//, the **subject** often appears later as in line one, as in:  (**subject**)  “Had he and **I** but met  to consciously use sentence fragments for emphasis. It is also an incomplete sentence where there is **no object** until you read line two:  By some old ancient inn,  When paraphrase, it could read as “If I had met him at some old ancient inn,” where “**I**” laid be the **subject** clearly. This is an indication that Hardy’s poem is brief but also comprehensive, offering high points of thought, feeling, reflection, and resolution. Hardy expects us to think, give us new and unexpected insights and arouse our emotion on //The Man He Killed//.  “//I shot at him as he at me,//” denoting the meaning of “I would shoot at him or he would shoot at me” in a very cleverly done short form. In line nine,  “I shot him dead because- Because he was my foe. Just so: my foe of course he was; That’s clear enough; although showing a feeling or reluctantcy to shoot at him. Hardy further explains that he did that because he is any foe. Given the same opportunity, he (the foe) could have shot at him too. b. **Tenses** The poem is written in the **simple past tense** to arouse our feelings of what we might do if we were in the same situation. He has also avoided **shifts** in tense in the poem. 2) **Punctuation** Hardy starts the poem with a direct speech, “//Had he and I but met// …” and ends it with an **exclamation mark** under the first stanza. He does that deliberately on the second stanza, third stanza, fourth stanza, and finally ends with the closing of the direct speech. So it makes the readers feel that he is actually listening to the narrator.  In the first stanza, line three is written a bit to the left and so is line seven, line eleven ,line fifteen, and line nineteen. Perhaps, this is to give emphasis to these lines.  In line twelve, “//That’**s** clear enough, although//”. In line thirteen, “//He thought he’**d** ’list//, ° //perhaps//.” In line nineteen, “//You’**d** treat if met where any bar is//.” All have an **apostrophe** to devote.  a. **Contractions**  Also there are five **dashes** in the poem; hence pausing reading a bit. We have never met the poet, never had his or her exact experiences. So to recapture the experience of the poem, we need to understand the meanings of the **dashes**. 3) **Mechanics** Hardy has got all lines of capital letters correct. There is no present of **abbreviations**, **numbers** or **italics**, but with the present of commas, full-stop, and semi-colon located at the right spot. There is no **anaphora** (repetition of the same word/phase throughout a word) present.  4) **Spelling** All the words here are clearly spelt. There are also no difficult words. Perhaps half-a-crown might be a bit low in value now but at that time when the poem was penned, it has the equivalent of $10 or $20. 5) **Diction** The words of a poem - their **denotation**, **connotation**, **diction**, and **syntax** - all **shape** a **poem**’**s** **total meaning** and **impact**. In Hardy’s poem, //The Man He Killed//, he uses a lot of verbs, such as met, sat, ranged, shot, killed, thought, and sold. Hardy also uses **connotation** and **denotation** devices whereby the meanings are literal. However, there is no jargon, slang or accent present.  Many **idiomatic** experiences are present, such as:  Line 3: We should have sat us **down to wet**  Line 6: And staring **face to face**,  Line 9: “I **shot him** dead because-  Line 14: **Off-hand** like-just as I-  Line 15: Was out of work-had **sold his traps**°-  **References**  Edgar V. Roberts and Henry E. Jacobs. //Literature: An introduction to Reading and Writing//.  Fifth Edition. Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey: Prentice Hall, 1998.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #008000; font-family: Jokerman; font-size: 24px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">ABOUT POEM <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #008000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Several of life's challenges can be construed from the first eight lines. People who are unable to accept responsibility for their actions or inactions will shirk their responsibility on the matter and blame someone else for their misgivings. The poem stresses the importance of accepting one's own responsibility for the choices made; not to play the blame game. Look within yourself for the answers and do not allow others to push you down or make you feel small and unworthy of life's good things. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #008000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The poem stresses the importance of being true to yourself and when the doubting Thomas' try to break you down by doubting your abilities don't let those doubts keep you from achieving your goals. However, take note of those who doubt you. Consider their doubts and make improvements to yourself or life as you know it to counteract those doubts. Learn to be humble and don't become a braggart. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #008000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Dare to dream, but do not allow that dream to control your every waking moment. Embrace the dream as your own, but do not trample others to achieve that dream. Be triumphant when your dreams are fulfilled, but do not become a martyr. When disasters occur in life, learn from them; do not ignore the disasters or triumphs in your life as they both have different effects on life as you know it. Both can destroy and both can give life. How you interpret that is your choice and how you choose to live will not only affect you, but will affect anything and everything that is near and dear to you. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #008000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Learn to speak the truth and take responsibility for your actions or inactions that may cause an upset in your life. Do not place blame where it doesn't belong. You make your own choices and placing the blame on others only exacerbates the problem. You cannot learn from bad choices if you constantly blame others for your misgivings. When life throws you curves from the side lines, steer around those curves, embrace them as a learning tool, and do not lose sight.
