THE MAN, THE MYTH, Robert Frost!!!!!!!!!!! Robert Frost made many poems before he died in 1963, and he was one of the most unique poets to live (GAW). He used many different forms of poems and styles to write these poems. Many of them related or connected to nature (Costello). The poems that are most widely known that will be covered are “Nothing Gold Can Stay,” “Fire and Ice,” and “Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening.” These poems are a favorite of the public and a favorite of Robert Frost (Roberts). He was stressed and this may have been a sign of tuberculosis. “Nothing Gold Can Stay” is about how nothing lasts especially beauty (Roberts). Frost gives an example of this using nature. He talks about a leaf and how it changes color with the seasons and eventually falls to the ground (Roberts). In this poem, he puts emphasis on speed to make his point even further (Roberts). He wrote this poem around the time his wife died. This grief and sorrow pushed him to write more poetry and affected what he wrote about (GAW).

He talked about how humans can destroy ourselves with desire and hatred (Kinsella). In this poem, he uses alliteration to appeal to the reader’s sense of sound (Kinsella). Even though many of his poems are about nature, some of them are not about nature which makes him different from other poets. Other poets strong suit is writing just about one repeating topic, but Frost is able to write about more than just one
