Frost’s Language and Style 30 CONCLUSION . 49 B IBLIOGR.APHY . 5 1 11 PREFACE Although Robert Frost occupies a unique position in modern poetry, he has not received the careful critical evaluation his work deserves. Anyone who has studied the numerous articles and books about him is quick to note that much has been done in the way of biographical sketches, regional vignettes, and appreciation, but little effort has been made to examine the poetry itself. There are many reasons for this lack of serious consideration. The main cause, however, is to be found in the very nature of his art. The poetry he has written is of a type distinctly different from that of his major contemporaries. At first glance, his work has an unusual simplicity which sets it apart. Frost’s poetry does not conform to any of the conventional devices characteristic of modern poetry. Modern poetry often exhibits obscurities of style and fra~nentary sentences, whereas, Frost’s sentences are clear. In modern poetry the verse forms are irregular with abrupt shifts from subject to subject. Frost’s language is conventional - close to everyday speech. Because he demands less erudition in the reader, his poetry may appear to lack the depth of thought that is found in the best modern verse.

CONCLUSION 93 BIBLIOGRAPHY 97 in CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION / One of the most striking features of Frost's poetry / \ noted by critics who have surveyed the body of his work is that quality which has been variously described in such ^ terms as contrariety, polarity, contradiction, or opposition and which is referred to in this study by the all-inclusive x term ambivalence. Critics have responded to this quality in Frost with varying degrees of both sympathy and antipathy, the particular response depending, at least in part, on the temperamental bias that the critic, no matter how carefully he guards his objectivity, brings to his subject. Among those critics who deny to Frost a front rank position among the great poets of the century, especially those critics who eye with suspicion Frost's enormous popularity among the Philistines, it seems to be those qualities related directly or indirectly to his ambivalence that are a chief target of critical comment.

  • Chapter - IV CHAPTER-IV
    Chapter - IV CHAPTER-IV THE FROST UNIVERSE: A STUDY IN MAJOR IMAGES AND SYMBOLS "Pipes in hands": Early Phase (1913 - 1916) His (Frost's) primary artistic achievement, which is an enviable one, in spite of shortcomings, rests on his blending thought and emotion and symbolic imagery within the confines of the lyric. It would seem to be an essential part of both his theory and practice to start with a single image, or to start with an image of action, and then to endow either or both with a figurativeness of meaning, which is not fully understood by the reader until the extensions of meaning are found to transcend the physical. Thompson, Lawrance. Robert Frost. Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 1959. 38. ... [I]n Frost the symbol, presented (mite casually as an image, opens outward upon a vista of meaning. The vista does not have any definite terminus and in the farthest distance ifades into vague areas of suggestion. Lynen, John F. The Pastoral Art of Robert Frost. New Haven: Yale University Press, 1960. 27. Frost's firstAolume, A Boy's Will (1913), "the Record of a Phase of Post- adolescence"', begins with a sonnet "Into My Own". It opens up the nexus of Frostian imagery wedded to the dark woods. Since Frost's poetic being has been shaped and reshaped by the woods, and the woods and the poetic being are almost 71 inseparable in Frost poetry, the study of this chapter hence begins with our observations on woods imagery: One of my wishes is that those dark trees, So old and firm they scarcely show the breeze, Were not, as't were, the merest mask of gloom, But stretched away unto the edge of doom.

  • Joseph Varghse Robert Frost
    ROBERT FROST (1874-1963) "I never go down the shoreline [city in King County, Washington] to New York without watching the birches to see if they live up to what I say about them in the poem.” Robert Frost Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant [American journalist and writer] Describes – the way in which Robert Frost came to write "Birches” "As for the poet, 'who never saw New England as clearly as when he was in Old England,' he could not tie down his creative moments. It was about this time, early in 1914, while tramping the muddy yard at the Bungalow [West Midlands], that he suddenly; he says, wrote a new poem, not to be included in North of Boston. This was the now so famous and beloved 'Birches,' with its cold and crystal memories of another kind of wintry world.” in "Birches," even though Frost saw New England most clearly when he was in Old England, he re-viewed his wintry New England scene through Thoreauvian eyes” ○ Robert Frost and the New England Renaissance George Monteiro 100 Henry David Thoreau’s description anticipates Frost's handling of imagery- ○ “I love Nature partly because she is not man, but a retreat from him. None of his institutions control or pervade her. There a different kind of right prevails. In her midst I can be glad with an entire gladness… ○ If this world were all man, I could not stretch myself, I should lose all hope. He is constraint, she is freedom to me. He makes me wish for another world. She makes me content with this.

  • Major Life Events of Robert Frost
    Major Life Events of Robert Frost: 1874 – Robert Frost is born in San Francisco on March 26 to William Prescott Frost Jr., a journalist from New Hampshire, and Isabelle Moodie, a schoolteacher from Scotland. “I know San Francisco like my own face…It’s where I came from, the first place I really knew…[It is] the first place in my memory, a place I still go back to in my dreams.”1 Named after General Robert E. Lee, whom his father admired. 1876 – Robert’s sister Jeanie is born. 1881 – Enters public school in the second grade, “excelling in geography and writing2. Later left elementary school after the third grade. “A pattern was put in place early in his life that would play out in distinct ways later on. Organized education, as he later said, was ‘never [his] taste.’”3 1885 – William Frost dies of tuberculosis. The Frost family is called back to the East Coast by William’s family for his funeral. “Frost absorbed from his father a great deal, including a feral drive to make something of himself, to exercise influence, to feel the world bending to his will…Frost’s lifelong…passion to excel and win in whatever he did [was] also a legacy from his father.”4 1885 – Frost family moves to New England. They first live with William Frost’s family in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Frost recalled, “At first I disliked the Yankees. They were cold. They seemed narrow to me. I could not get used to them.”5 1886 – Isabelle begins teaching at a school in Salem, a school which her two children also attend.

  • Investigation of the Musical Devices Used by Randall Thompson to Compose Works on the Text of Robert Frost
    M~ INVESTIGATION OF THE MUSICAL DEVICES USED BY RANDALL THOMPSON TO COMPOSE WORKS ON THE TEXT OF ROBERT FROST A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts by Jerome C. Maxwell, B.S. The Ohio State University 1966 Approved by Departme Music ACKNOWLEDGEME1~ The writer wishes to thank Dr. Wayne Ramsey and Prof. Dale Gilliland for their guidance in the preporatio~ of t~is study. The writer also wishes to thank his wife, Emmy, for her invaluable aid and encouragement. ii CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION _P_u_r~p;..o_s_e__o_f .~ study The purpose of this study was to analyze the musical set­ tings by Randall Thompson of seven poems of Robert Frost. The poems were studied from the standpoint of providing the conductor comprehensive understanding essential to a performance of these choral works. Too frequently the conductor performs choral compositions with little understanding of the significance of many musical and poetic factors involved in a choral setting. Posing such questions as the following would appear to be basic for gaining a comprehensive understanding of the music. 1. What is the meaning of the poem? What poetic devices have been used in develo~inG' this mcn!.1inc? 2. Does the musical setting seem to be appropriate to this meaning'? 3. What kinds of compositional devices has the composer used to enhance the text? 4. What problems regarding interpretation are evident from study of the score? 5. What technical problems are involved in the performance of the compositions? Answers to the above questions are pertinent to gaining 1 3 students if they are to gain some comprehension of music they are performing.

  • Just Who Was the First (Unofficial) Poet Laureate of the United States?
    Just Who Was the First (Unofficial) Poet Laureate of the United States? Robert Lee Frost (March 26, 1874 – January 29, 1963) was born in San Francisco, CA, the son of a teacher/journalist, William Prescott Frost, Jr., and Isabelle Moodie Frost. His father died when Robert was ten years old, and Robert moved to Lawrence, MA with his mother and his sister, Jeanie, to live with his paternal grandparents. Today, there is an elementary school named for Frost in Lawrence, MA. Frost graduated from Lawrence High School in 1892, co-valedictorian with the young woman who was later to become his wife, Elinor White. He attended Dartmouth College for one semester, but he was restless and returned home to teach and to work at various jobs. Frost’s first published poem, “My Butterfly: An Elegy” appeared in the New York Independent in November, 1894. He was paid fifteen dollars; this convinced him that he could write good poetry. In December of 1895, Robert finally married Elinor (she had turned him down before, because she wanted to finish college first). Their first child, Elliott, was born the following September in 1896. Frost decided to give formal education another try, and he entered Harvard in September, 1897 to study liberal arts, He left Harvard after two years without attaining a degree in order to work and support his young family. The Frosts’ second child, Lesley, was born in April of 1899. Their first son, Elliott, died of cholera in July, 1900, just a few months short of his fourth birthday. In October, 1900, the Frosts moved to a poultry farm in Derry, NH, which was purchased for them by Robert’s paternal grandfather.
