  • Robert Frost
    Patrick Elisa Wells And dear friend, Roberto Frost A Rose for Patrick.. Robert Frost Born Robert Lee Frost on March 26,1874 in San Francisco, California to William Prescott Frost Jr. Isabelle Moodie. His parents had Scottish and England descent. His father died in 1885, and he and his mother moved to Lawrence, Massachusetts under the patronage of Robert's grandfather. There his mother joined the Swedenborgian church where he was baptised, but he left the church in his adulthood. Frost graduated from Lawrence High School in 1892. It was there that he published his first poems, "La Noche Triste," and "The Song of the Wave," in the school's magazine. He then met and fell in love with fellow student Elinor Miriam White. The year of his graduation, he became engaged to Elinor. He attended Dartmouth College instead of Harvard because it was cheaper. He was there just long enough to be accepted into the Theta Delta Chi fraternity. He was so bored by college life that he left at the end of his first semester. Frost tries to convince Elinor to marry him before returning to St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York, but fails. After leaving college, he returned home to teach and to work at various jobs including delivering newspapers and factory labor. Truly not enjoying these jobs at all, he felt his true calling as a poet. A year later, he learns that The Independent will publish his poem "My Butterfly: An Elegy" and would pay him $15. He once again tried to convince Elinor to marry him at once.

ADVANCE AND RETREAT ..... 39 V. ROMANTICISM AND REALISM 58 VI. FAITH AND SKEPTICISM 77 VII. 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.

  • The Road Not Taken
    THE ROAD NOT TAKEN John Scales Avery October 27, 2020 Introduction1 Decision trees During each human life, a child starts with many possible destinations. He or she then makes decisions, and each decision more closely defines who the person is and what it is possible for the person to become. The choice of a vocation defines who a person is, as does the choice of a husband or wife. Often chance plays a role. The decision to take a holiday at a particular place may lead to a chance meeting with a life partner. In a human life, we can observe a treelike pattern, similar to the decision tree of a person traveling through a landscape. At each forking of the path, a decision has to be made, and that decision determines more and more closely the traveler’s ultimate destination. Analogously, in a human life, a tree-like series of decisions or external influences more and more closely define the person’s identity and destiny. Each decision is a positive step, since it helps to define a person’s character. But there is sadness too. As we step forward on the road ahead, we must renounce all other possibilities. Although we might embrace our destiny, we sometimes think with regret on the road not taken, and wonder what might have been if we had chosen other paths. Pathfinding The 2014 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was shared by John O’Keefe, May-Britt Moser and Edvard Moser. They received the prize for discover- ing the histologically observable structures in the brains of mammals which are used to remember pathways, for example the pathway through a maze.

  • 1 Robert Frost Poems Robert Frost (1874-1963) Was an American Poet
    1 Robert Frost Poems Robert Frost (1874-1963) was an American poet most associated with the characters and cadences of New England. He won the Pulitzer Prize for poetry four times and became the most well-known poet of the twentieth century in America. He read his poem “The Gift Outright” at the inauguration of John F. Kennedy in 1961. His collections include A Boy’s Will (1913), North of Boston (1914), and Collected Poems (1931). Birches (1916) When I see birches bend to left and right Across the lines of straighter darker trees, I like to think some boy's been swinging them. But swinging doesn't bend them down to stay. Ice-storms do that. Often you must have seen them Loaded with ice a sunny winter morning After a rain. They click upon themselves As the breeze rises, and turn many-colored As the stir cracks and crazes their enamel. Soon the sun's warmth makes them shed crystal shells 10 Shattering and avalanching on the snow-crust-- Such heaps of broken glass to sweep away You'd think the inner dome of heaven had fallen. They are dragged to the withered bracken by the load, And they seem not to break; though once they are bowed So low for long, they never right themselves: You may see their trunks arching in the woods Years afterwards, trailing their leaves on the ground Like girls on hands and knees that throw their hair Before them over their heads to dry in the sun. 20 But I was going to say when Truth broke in With all her matter-of-fact about the ice-storm (Now am I free to be poetical?) I should prefer to have some boy bend them As he went out and in to fetch the cows-- Some boy too far from town to learn baseball, Whose only play was what he found himself, Summer or winter, and could play alone.

  • The Road Not Taken" As a Modernist Expression of Isolation Lynn Marie Houston, California State University, Chico
    Teaching American Literature: A Journal of Theory and Practice Winter 2008 (2:1) Closing the Hallmark Card: Teaching Frost's "The Road Not Taken" as a Modernist Expression of Isolation Lynn Marie Houston, California State University, Chico Teachers of Robert Frost often contextualize his poetry in terms of his regionalism, realism, and his debts to Romanticism, such as his attention to nature and his celebration of the working class. Many teachers, though, neglect a discussion of the context of modernism when teaching Robert Frost's poetry, a little noted vein of theoretical interest especially among more recent Frost scholars. Understanding the modernist context in Robert Frost's work, and teaching it successfully to students, allows for new insights into the meaning of such poems as "The Road Not Taken" and transforms Frost's image from Hallmark-card material to edgy criticism of American individualism and isolationism. These new insights are essential for including the work of Robert Frost in college courses on modern poetry where his work frequently appears juxtaposed to that of the high modernists. Teaching techniques that can push students to consider this perspective, especially in "The Road Not Taken," hinge on developing their attention to word definitions and connotations, on instructing students to avoid the common mistake of referring to this poem by an incorrect title, and on providing them with a visual map of the geography of Frost's text. Traditionally, Frost has been viewed as a romanticist rather than a modernist. The Romantic elements of his work position him among a pantheon of poets like Wordsworth and the fireside poets (William Cullen Bryant, John Greenleaf Whittier, and Longfellow).

General remarks about Frost’s poetry americainclass.org 5 Teaching Robert Frost Robert Frost (1874-1963) was among the major American poets of the 20th century. His achievement was distinctive and memorable. He came of age as a writer in an era when the most celebrated poetry was highly aestheticized— ornate, musical, and symbolic. And he began his career at a time when a rising new generation of modernists poets was throwing off that literary inheritance by writing complex, experimental verse that often looked nothing at all like traditional poetry.

  • 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.
