In a letter to his brother, the great painter, Vincent Van Gogh, once wrote,“Poetry surrounds us everywhere, but putting it on paper is, alas, not so easy as looking at it”. In this quote, Van Gogh summarizes a subject great writers like Ralph Waldo Emerson has devoted entire essays to defining and explaining, and that is the subject of poetry. As it can be seen, a poet undertakes that almost impossible job of transposing what he or she sees in Nature on to paper for others to read. Only a true poet can be successful in an attempt. It is not just Nature a poet tries to capture into words, but also social experiences and human truths.

Robert Frost’s poems explored the nature in a rather deep and dark way. For example, his poem, “After-Apple Picking” is hidden under a mask that looks like a harvester is just tired and wants to go to sleep after a day of picking apple from tree. However, we learned that this poem has deeper meaning than what is being shown on the surface. This poem is about actually talking about death as a deeper meaning. I think it is really interesting how Robert Frost, as a poet, was able to connect two themes that are completely different and make it into a single poem.

Synthesis #2 Draft #1 The poems “Songs of Experience: The Chimney Sweeper” and “Hymn to the Intellectual Beauty” written by William Blake and Percy Bysshe Shelley touch on the topic of religion and the lack of importance of this faith in people’s lives. Religion does not bring truth and meaning to life as it is perceived to doreword this . There are topics of greater importance in one’s life, faith is not only put in God and his teachings but a much greater power. Blake followed the religious teachings of Christianity growing up, and still expressed religion as not being the most important belief in his life, ironic for a man of strong beliefs for his religion.

Life does not stop for anybody, it continuously moves in a cycle of growing up and eventually dying; such as a puppy that loses its youth and becomes mature. In Mary Oliver’s lyric poem “Lines Written in the Days of Growing Darkness” and Robert Frost’s lyric poem “Nothing Gold Can Stay”, both authors demonstrate how life has its ups and its downs. The speaker of Oliver’s poem encourages us directly to “let us go on, cheerfully enough” (18), even though we don’t want things to change; it is bound to happen. On the other hand, Frost’s poem suggests indirectly that although things will process through cycles and we will have to go through lost; something will always be gained. Both authors convey their theme largely through symbolic imagery.

Recent studies prove that the majority of people experience intrusive inner-thinking and monologues that guide their lives. Inner thinking is a highly individual process; people frequently consider an imaginative approach to their judgments in solitude through inner thinking.
