. Landscape in Frost s poetry
Frost had always been called a landscape poet . Landscape appears in almost every of his poems. He has a wonderful talent to describe nature in simple, colloquial language and simultaneously leave the reader a mystery to solve. had lived in rural areas of New England (New Hampshire and Vermont - the agricultural states) most of his life. There is no surprise he had always had everlasting attachment to these places. They had been both his home and the source of his inspiration. New Hampshire had always been the favourite Frost s state, that s why he devoted the whole book of poems to it. Thus Frost describes the charms of home nature (farms, forests etc.) And passes his feelings on to the reader. Later, after 1936, he stopped describing the New England landscapes and preferred to comment on philosophical and scientific theories with a touch of irony. As for the subject of socializing with nature, it passes through all Frost s works, figures in every other subject and is the stern of his poetry. usually pays the greatest attention to nature and to thoughts of people who are close to it. For example, in Christmas Trees he describes a forest during the Christmas Eve, sorrow of the woodman, who doesn t want his trees to be cut down; his surprise when he discovered he had a thousand of trees and his happiness: the trees would give joy to people.
... He asked if I would sell my Christmas trees; woods - the young fir balsams like a placehadn t thought of them as Christmas Trees. ...
