This paper analyzes the poem 'mowing' by Robert Frost by analyzing how Frost talks about work in this poem and refers to the fact that writing poem is word in itself.
The document provides context about the Romantic poet William Wordsworth and analyzes his poem "The Solitary Reaper". It summarizes that the poem depicts a solitary Highland lass reaping grain alone in a field and singing a melancholy song that fills the valley. Though the speaker does not understand the language, he imagines it is about past sorrows or battles. The beauty of her song deeply moves the speaker and the music lingers in his heart as he leaves. The analysis examines the form, imagery, figures of speech, and themes of imagination and unity between man and nature in the poem.
A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two unlike things using "like" or "as". It differs from a metaphor which directly states one thing is the other. There are three main types of similes: those using "like", those using "as", and those without either word. Similes can be implicit, leaving it to the reader to determine the features being compared, or explicit in specifying the basis of the comparison. They are commonly used in literature and everyday speech to draw comparisons in descriptive and engaging ways.
The poem celebrates the beauty of the world in the first few lines, describing it as great, wide, and beautifully dressed. It then notes that while the world is so great, the speaker feels small in comparison. However, in the final lines, the perspective shifts as the speaker realizes that despite being small, they are greater than the earth because they possess the abilities to love and think, unlike the earth.
The poem "IF" by Rudyard Kipling describes the qualities of a man who can remain calm and in control when faced with adversity. It states that if one can keep a level head when others are losing theirs, trust oneself when doubted by others, wait patiently without growing tired, avoid lies and hatred even when faced with them, and treat both triumph and disaster equally without being ruled by dreams or thoughts, then they will be considered a true man. The poem stresses the importance of persevering through challenges with determination and resilience ("hold on") using whatever means possible, even after one's strength fails, in order to overcome difficulties and achieve success.
The document discusses Romanticism and the Romantic poet John Keats. It provides context about Romanticism as a literary movement and examines Keats' life and work, focusing on his 1819 ode "To Autumn." The poem personifies Autumn and uses vivid sensory imagery to depict the sights, sounds, smells and feelings of the season through three stanzas.
This presentation is made as part of the Teachers day lesson. in this presentation the focus is on the poem 'The Flea' by John Donne, also focusing the metaphysical poetry and Donne's metaphysical Characteristics in this poem and the detailed analysis.
The poem describes the poet's experience coming across a large group of daffodils near a lake while on a walk through the countryside. He is struck by their vast numbers and the way they flutter in the breeze, appearing as if they are dancing. The sight of the daffodils had such an impact that later, when feeling low in spirits, the vision of the daffodils would flash in his mind and fill his heart with joy.
The poem is narrated by a little black boy who explains that his mother taught him about God despite the fact that he has dark skin. He says that his soul is white even though his body is black. He tells a little English boy that when they see God, their skin colors will not matter and they will both be able to experience God's love equally.

The knight tells the poet that he met a beautiful lady in the meadow who seduced him with her beauty and songs. They spent the day together in love and intimacy. That night, in his dreams, the knight saw visions of past kings and warriors who had been misled by the same beautiful lady and were left grieved and starving. He awoke alone on the cold hill, realizing she had bewitched him for her own ends, leaving him distressed like the others. This explained his current lonely, pale state wandering by the empty lake.

This document provides details about John Galsworthy and his famous work The Forsyte Saga. It then describes the story of the Gessler Brothers boot makers in London. The brothers were skilled craftsmen who made high-quality boots by order, though they struggled to compete with larger firms. Over time, both brothers passed away - the elder from natural causes, while the younger starved as the business declined. Their small shop was later taken over by a larger English company, marking the end of the Gessler Brothers' tradition of quality boot making.
This poem describes a man reflecting on his childhood and relationship with his father. On Sundays, his father would wake up early to start fires and warm the house, despite his cracked and aching hands from hard labor. As a child, the narrator was indifferent to his father and unaware of his difficult work. Now as an adult, he realizes how much his father sacrificed and questions his own ignorance of his father's love through difficult tasks. The poem uses imagery of cold and warmth to represent the narrator's changing feelings over time.
Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets. His sonnets talk about love, friendship etc.The sonnets to the young man express overwhelming, obsessional love. The main cause of debate has always been whether it remained platonic or became physical.The first 17 poems, traditionally called the procreation sonnets, are addressed to the young man urging him to marry and have children in order to immortalize his beauty by passing it to the next generation.Other sonnets express the speaker's love for the young man; brood upon loneliness, death, and the transience of life; seem to criticise the young man for preferring a rival poet; express ambiguous feelings for the speaker's mistress; and pun on the poet's name. The final two sonnets are allegorical treatments of Greek epigrams referring to the "little love-god" Cupid.
Robert Frost was born in 1874 in San Francisco and moved to New England at age 11. He attended Dartmouth College and Harvard but did not complete his studies, disliking academic conventions. For 12 years, he supported himself through teaching and farming while writing poetry. In 1912, he moved his family to England where his first book was published. He then returned to the US and settled on a farm in New England. Frost's poetry uses traditional forms to explore modern themes of alienation, often depicting the solitary quest to understand an indifferent universe through symbols drawn from rural New England life. He won numerous honors including 4 Pulitzer Prizes and served as an unofficial poet laureate of the United States.

What is imagery?
–
When you consider the term imagery, you might only think of images that you perceive with your eyes. However, the literary term refers to words and phrases (often figurative language) that appeal to the five senses:
–
1. Taste
2. Smell
3. Touch
4. Sight
5. Hearing
An Example in Poetry Let us consider for a moment how powerful sensory detail can be in a poem… how imagery can convey much more than physical sensations, but can reveal a flood of emotional associations. Consider this example, where a comb initially conveys a sense of touch:
THE PIERCING CHILL I FEELBy Taniguchi Buson
The piercing chill I feel:
my dead wife's comb, in our bedroom,
under my heel. . .
Buson could have made the entire poem more ghostly and abstract in order to to convey a sense of loss. In fact, the piercing chill in the first line and title are quite generic. We know what cold feels like and we have experienced pain, so we understand this chill to be a cold that pierces (not literally), but one that goes beyond the surface and perhaps wounds him internally. It is familiar: there are many instances in the human effort to communicate negative emotion when cold and pain are used together.
These last lines,
my dead wife's comb, in our bedroom,
under my heel. . .
are what really make this poem worthy of being called a poem. They take the familiar ambiguity of the first lines and transport us to a unique image that amplifies the emotion being expressed in these words. The reader’s journey through the poem’s familiar language is disrupted by a more concrete object: the “dead wife’s comb,” much in the same way that speaker’s journey through the bedroom is disrupted when he encounters the object under his foot. We almost experience the same type of surprise that the speaker experiences by stepping on the comb!
Furthermore, the comb is loaded with potential associations that help us identify what the speaker is feeling or precisely how he is “chilled.” This is an object that once passed through his living wife’s hair. It is a reminder of the life that is now gone-- of the movement of his wife’s hand as it guided the comb.
The “heel” is of course the other part of the image. The speaker doesn’t merely see or pick up the comb, but he steps on it before he otherwise notices it. This might say something about the speaker’s disposition. He is perhaps either numb or beginning to distance himself from the loss. If nothing else, this object takes him by surprise, the way the full comprehension of loss is surprising. The comb also has the effect of “piercing” him in a more literal sense. .
From time to time in these years of my retirement from half a century of a student-and-employment life, 1949 to 1999 and, in this case, in the last three weeks before I enter my 70s, I have taken an interest in some particular writer or poet, philosopher or historian, psychologist or sociologist, among other specialists in some discipline of learning.
Usually I remember what led to this interest; sometimes I don't. In this case I remember coming across a review by that fine Australian essayist, Clive James, of a new volume of letters by Robert Forst.1 This led to my bringing together several pieces of my prose and poetry written during these my retirement years, 1999 to 2014, on the subject of Robert Frost. While gathering together these several pages of writing, my interest in Frost's reasons for writing poetry were piqued.-Ron Price with thanks to 1 Clive James, "The Sound of Sense: Clive James on Robert Frost," Prospect, 23/1/'14, on 4/7/'14.

LIKE ROBERT FROST
Part 1:
Like Robert Frost’s writing of poetry it was instinct that kept me going in the direction I took in the 1990s, and in the direction I also took in the 21st century. An inner feeling, an intuition, a combination of sense experience, my use of the rational faculty, and many decades of experience told me I was doing the right thing.1 Like Frost, I did not expect to have my poetry recognized although, after the first 25 years of my poetic production--say, 1980 to 2005-- I began to hope for, if not expect, recognition.
Now, in 2014, after nearly 25 years of extensive writing under my literary belt, and nearly 35 years of occasional work, to say nothing about the more than 3 decades before that of what you might call 'my lifespan warm-up', I still have not detected any sense of significant enthusiasm for my poems. There has been one individual exception, the editor of Kalimat Press, Anthony Lee, who offered back in 1999 to make a chapbook of my poems. There is also the surprising fact that, as a result of my efforts to promote, to publicize, my writing in cyberspace I now have millions of readers.
Poetry is a literary medium which often resonates with the responder on a personal level, through the subject matter of the poem; the techniques are used to portray this study. Robert Frost utilizes many techniques to convey his respect for nature, which consequently makes much of his poetry relevant to the everyday person. His poetry deals with ordinary people, including farmers and workers of his age. Because of his unfeigned interest in and love for rural people, Frost emerged ultimately as a national bard and a poetic sage of America. On the surface, “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” focuses on a seemingly unimportant event of the poet stopping one winter evening, mesmerized by the snow and the wood. However, at a figurative level, the poem goes deeper connecting with the people’s everyday life. The poet portrays the universal images that every man thinks about his life what he has done on earth, or through the ordinary situations. A village farmer couple is the protagonist of the poem through whom the psychology of common people are impacted on his writings. The dilemma of a simple stranger shows the psychological conflicts of the contemporary age as reflected in “The Road Not Taken.” In the poem, “Mending Wall,” the difference of opinion of two neighbors can be interpreted at national or international level. Thus this paper examines very familiar issues of the common people of the poet’s age.

Art can be manifested in various ways. Some of the common ways include drawing, dressing and even through poetry. Poetry is, therefore, a way of depicting art through the use of figurative language. The poet, therefore, has a role to play to ensure that they are able to communicate their ideas effectively. Poets use various styles and forms of writing to distinguish their work and communicate with the targeted audience. One of the most commonly re-known poets is Robert Frost. This paper will examine a quick biography of Robert Frost, themes that Robert Frost covers and the motifs that Frost has used in most of his works.
Bibliography
Robert Frost was born on March 26th, 1874 in San Francisco, California in the United States. Little is known of his past but when he came into scenes, his work was being published in England before it was published in America. Most of his work is about the social and philosophical themes of life using the rural settings of his articles. He realistically depicted rural life using his strong command of American colloquial speech. He began his career as a poet late in high school and worked on it while in Dartmouth College where he dropped out in less than a year. He joined Harvard University where he also left after two years. Frost was a poet and a playwright with “A Boy's Will” in 1913 and “North of Boston” in 1914 is some of the works that put him on the radar. He also wrote prose books, spoken word, and letters.
Frost was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature 31 times. He acquired his poetic persona of a rural setting from his working on his farm and writing poems although he never published them because the publishing firms showed little interest in them. This forced him to move from England to America.He was married to Elinor Miriam White and had six children. He died in 1963 at 88 years of age (Biography.com). Frost and his poetry are relevant because he is known for his poems that had meaning even in today's' world. For example, the "Road Not Taken" can be used to encourage students to take the right path to ensure they have a brighter future. His relevance can also be felt in that he was a poet with spiritual coating in most of his poems.
Themes in the Poems by Frost
One of the main themes that were of interestto Robert Frost include the theme of youths. Frost was highly interested in the coverage of themes that revolved around the issues that affected the youth. In the poem “A Boy’s Will”, Frost explores the life of a solitary youth who explores and questions the world around him. This is spotted in the where Frost writes “A mother takes twenty years to make a man of her boy, and another woman makes a fool of him in twenty minutes”. Additionally, the poem “Road Not Taken” addresses the challenges that the youths might face I they do not choose the right path to follow. “I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference (Frost.

The Jewish Trinity : Sabbath,Shekinah and Sanctuary 4.pdfJackieSparrow3
we may assume that God created the cosmos to be his great temple, in which he rested after his creative work. Nevertheless, his special revelatory presence did not fill the entire earth yet, since it was his intention that his human vice-regent, whom he installed in the garden sanctuary, would extend worldwide the boundaries of that sanctuary and of God’s presence. Adam, of course, disobeyed this mandate, so that humanity no longer enjoyed God’s presence in the little localized garden. Consequently, the entire earth became infected with sin and idolatry in a way it had not been previously before the fall, while yet in its still imperfect newly created state. Therefore, the various expressions about God being unable to inhabit earthly structures are best understood, at least in part, by realizing that the old order and sanctuary have been tainted with sin and must be cleansed and recreated before God’s Shekinah presence, formerly limited to heaven and the holy of holies, can dwell universally throughout creation

Analysis of the poem 'mowing' by robert frost
1. Introduction
It is very well known that Robert Frost was one of those poets who wrote about the reality of life
rather than blanket that reality into a scheme of sentences with words which made it appear as
something that it truly wasn’t. Therefore, he wrote a lot about the working life of a middle-class
man in England. He acquired this method to provoke his readers to ponder upon the philosophy of
life, death, work, etc., instead of presenting them with a fantasy and embedding it with some kind
of philosophical or mystic truth. In simpler words, he approached the world as it was. This
perception of his inspired and was reflected in a lot of his poems. People were not accustomed to
this kind of poetry in his time, therefore, even the best of critics had to scratch their heads in order
to discern what Frost was meaning to establish or portray through his poems. However, as the
years went by the world grew familiar with his writing style and concocted numerous allusions
and comprehendables from his poems.
This poem, ‘Mowing’ has been analyzed and regarded through various perspectives. What I am
meaning to do in this paper is to analyze this very poem through the lens of ‘the work needed to
write a poem’. This notion first struck me when I heard my professor discuss Robert Frost and
state that we can deduce from his poems that he himself is ‘working’ to write a poem, which could
be one of the many reasons for him to fixate upon the theme of ‘work’; physical work. Hence, the
following paper will be discussed in the light of this notion.
For this purpose, the paper has been divided into the following:
1. The poem ‘Mowing’ by Robert Frost.
2. Analysis of the poem under the prospect of ‘the work required to write a poem’.
2. ‘Mowing’ by Robert Frost:
There was never a sound beside the wood but one,
And that was my long scythe whispering to the ground.
What was it it whispered? I knew not well myself;
Perhaps it was something about the heat of the sun,
Something, perhaps, about the lack of sound—
And that was why it whispered and did not speak.
It was no dream of the gift of idle hours,
Or easy gold at the hand of fay or elf:
Anything more than the truth would have seemed too weak
To the earnest love that laid the swale in rows,
Not without feeble-pointed spikes of flowers
(Pale orchises), and scared a bright green snake.
The fact is the sweetest dream that labor knows.
My long scythe whispered and left the hay to make.
Analysis:
“And that was my long scythe…”
In the opening of this poem Frost first delivers the specifics of the tool being used for ‘work’ in
his poem, stating that it is a ‘long scythe’. As mentioned above in the introductory paragraph, this
paper will analyze the poem through the concept of how Robert Frost himself ‘works’ to write his
poems – this poem. Therefore, in that context the ‘long scythe’ which he talks about, which is a
tool for the boy’s work, could allude towards Frost’s tools for writing his poems. Moreover, his
use of the word ‘long’ in order to describe the scythe may suggest to the readers that he’s alluding
towards the idea that there exists numerous tools at the disposal of a poet which helps him to craft
his poems, such as: the tool of imagination, or inspiration, or even a pen and pencil. The fact that
he mentions ‘tools’ in almost all of his poems delineates its importance and how they are necessary
for any sort of ‘work’ to be done. Hence, pointing towards the importance of the tools present in a
poet’s arsenal and how they should always be taken care of and sharpened from time to time to
contrive the best possible results.
“…whispering to the ground, what was it is whispered? I knew not well myself;”
Here, Frost mentions that the ‘long scythe’ – the tool for work – whispers to the ‘ground’. As
readers we can deduce – as per this context – that the ground which Frost talks about here is the
surface of the paper on which his tool – either a pen or pencil or his imagination – works. For the
purpose of describing this action he uses the word ‘whispers’, personifying his tool for writing,
attributing it to intellectual and human-like capabilities, using which it ‘whispers’ to the ground.
Meaning that it writes or produces upon the ground the words that it wasn’t to imprint.
3. Another deduction could be that Frost imparts his feelings of oblivion to the readers; explaining
that he does not know himself – while writing the poems – what reactions and critiques he would
reap through his writings, or in what way would it impact the society in which he lives. Therefore,
explaining the sentence: “I knew not well myself”. Likewise, it may also suggest the concept of
confusion instigated within Frost himself; that he could not explain why he wrote poems, what
provoked him to write poems, what inspired him to talk about the working life of the middle-class
people, and that it was upon each individual reader to decipher that for themselves.
“Perhaps it was something about the heat of the sun,”
In this line, Frost paints a picture of a boy working very hard in a field with his long scythe in his
hand swinging back and forth while sweat garnishes his face and wets his shirt. Frost conjures all
of this in the minds of his readers by simply stating ‘the heat of the sun’, explaining that ‘working’
is hard, not easy, and that it requires a lot of strength and energy, only then does one yield the
results that they strived for and hoped to accomplish. Thereby, penalizing the fact that writing
poetry is hard work, one needs to ‘work’ for it in order to yield the best results. Much like the boy
swings his scythe back and forth, similarly a poet has to swing his words back and forth until
he/she can finally weave them into a sentence which brims and exudes of meaningful allusions
and symbolisms. Moreover, much like how the boy works hard until sweat breaks out and drenches
his body, likewise a poet has to work just that hard until sweat glistens onto his face due to mental
exhaustion.
“It was no dream of the gift of idle hours, or easy gold at the hand of fay or elf:”
These lines further expound upon the concept that Frost is trying to impart to his readers in his
poem – that writing poetry is hard work. He says that it is no ‘dream…of idle hours’ meaning that
it is not as easy as people assume it to be. Inspiration does not hit a poet by sitting idly on his
couch, words don’t align themselves properly into constructed sentences by their own; the entire
ordeal takes as much time, energy and dedication as it takes to swing a scythe back and forth in
order to plough the ground for harvesting.
“The fact is the sweetest dream that labor knows.”
Towards the end, Frost makes it apparent for all of his readers what the penultimate goal for each
poem and poet is: ‘the fact’. A poet strives to deliver precisely that into his/her poem through
his/her choice of words and sentence structure. Delivering those facts, may it be about life or
death or anything besides it, it the ‘sweetest dream’ of all poets.
Therefore, in this manner this poem ‘Mowing’ by Robert Frost explains how writing a poem is
work in itself and how tedious and trying that work is; however, much more rewarding, as
Robert Frost discovered in the following years of his life.
