Poems by Robert Frost
The poem “Mending Wall,” written by Robert Frost, mainly talks about the tradition associated with two neighbors gathering to amend a wall that occurs between them. The wall is utilized metaphorically to indicate the relational separation that occurred between the neighbor and the speaker. “Something there is that doesn’t love a wall” (1, 35) is observations that the environment does not value walls either, not only persons. There isn’t meant division to be present in everything, and nature attempts to split them down through using falling stones. One neighbor supposes that there should be the existence of the wall while another does not consider that the wall should exist just for the sake of existing. Individuals are naturally preordained to be together and communicate with each other instead of being divided. “Good fences make good neighbors” (27). Even though the literal understanding is that it is a good thing for keeping out properties like livestock, the key idea is that there is a need to be the establishment of some degree of privacy in each relationship.
The poem “Birches,” written by Robert Frost, summarizes and chiefly talks about a man recalling all about his life through the actions he used to perform when he was a toddler, like climbing of trees, etc. He experiences and passes through a hard time acclimating to his current life of adulthood and wishes that he could go back to a kid again. The finalizing line in this poem indicates a very intuitive and vital perception of life itself. The previous line from the concluding line adds context to this message, “That would be good both going and coming back” (58). It merely means that there is self-control with relaxation and stress; it is well and good to go through tranquility, given that it is not intended to be permanent since he should make an effort to go to work to make sure he sustain himself. Birch is swinging in his outlet of tranquility.
