In this paper I will try to analyze some of the Frost's early poems. I will explore similarities and differences in his poems. I refer to these poems as "early" because they are considered here are a selection of well known verses published in the eleven years (1913-1923) spanned by Frost's first four books: A Boy's Will, North of Boston, Mountain Interval, and New Hampshire. His each poem is like a journey of self-discovery, of life.
A theme in Frost's work is the need for some, but not total, freedom. In these "early" years, Frost was concerned with perfecting what he termed "the sound of sense." This was a description, in words, of raw sensory perception.
I would also like to stress that Robert Frost was very, very popular--superstar popular. By the end of his life he had achieved the iconic status of living legend.
For Frost, poetry and life were one and the same thing. In an interview he said, "One thing I care about, and wish young people could care about it, is taking poetry as the first form of understanding. Say it: my favorite form of understanding. If poetry isn't understanding all, the whole world, then it isn't worth anything. Young poets forget that poetry must include the mind as well as the emotions. Too many poets delude themselves by thinking the mind is dangerous and must be left out. Well, the mind is dangerous and must be left in." (www.frost.freehosting.net).
Mending Wall.
Mending Wall is resonant, homey, wry, yet serene poem; it is steeped in levels of meaning implied by its well-wrought metaphoric suggestions.
Frost begins this poem by saying: .
"Something there is that doesn't love a wall".
What does not love a wall is frost itself, ice, chillness. A stone wall separates the speaker's property from his neighbor's. In spring, the two meet to walk the wall and jointly make repairs. The speaker sees no reason for the wall to be kept--there are no cows to be contained, just apple and pine trees.
