Frost and Keats both describe a wondrous star with similar style in that they use positive but curious diction to express their adulation for the star. However, the two poems differ in their viewpoints of the star. Keats views the star as a protective object whereas Frost scrutinizes the star scientifically proposing questions. .
Both poems have a similar style and tone, expressing awe for the star. Keats sees the "bright star" as "steadfast and unchangeable," a phenomenon in science. Keats praises the star for its existence and "tender[ness]" and hopes for everlasting continuation. He speaks of the star as a wonderful object, "feel[ing] forever its soft fall," using positive diction to demonstrate his awe. Frost uses a similar tone in expressing this wonder. He claims "the fairest [star] in sight" deserves recognition for its unexplained existence. Although slightly confused by the star, stating, "use language we can comprehend," Frost still holds the star in high regard. The "fairest [and] steadfast" star astonishes both men as they describe this phenomenon. .
Though both poems have similarities, they differ in their theme. Keats describes the star as "watching, with eternal lids apart," symbolizing an everlasting spirit who never ceases his protection. Therefore, his interpretation symbolizes the star as a god-like figure whose duty is to protect, a "priest-like task," a task beyond human control. However, Frost looks at the star with a more scientific approach and his curiosity takes hold of him as he begins to question the star's purpose. He asks "with what degree of heat" the star burns at and .
"what elements [it] blends," showing the advances in knowledge. This questioning can be explained with reference to the time period of each of the poems. By the time Frost wrote his poem, the world was further along in scientific knowledge than during the time period Keats wrote his poem.
