Never show surprise! .. p align="justify"> leitmotif of landscape poetry of Robert Frost in the whole is the self-definition of a man s spirit in natural surroundings. Attraction and antagonizing in the relations of a man and nature corresponds to the swinging of Frost s character. This is a metaphor of the character s movement from poem to poem: from wild nature to people and backwards. All character s positions are intermediate - everything is led into the channel of pragmatic vagueness. . H. Auden, a famous Anglo-American poet, called Frost a poet of autumn and coming winter, sunset darkness, thickening dark and inclement weather . According to his research of Frost s books, one book contains 21 poems describing winter (and only in 5 the scene is set in spring). The action takes place at night in 27 poems, and 14 portray bad weather. For example, a scene of bad weather is seen in A Line Storm Song:
The line-storm clouds fly tattered and swift.road is forlorn all day, a myriad snowy quartz stones lift, the hoof-prints vanish away.roadside flowers, too wet for the bee, their bloom in vain.
Frost became a professional poet when he was not a boy, so he had never been in love with the surrounding nature. He was attracted to absolutely different emotions - doubt, enlightened sorrow, moderate skepticism. He was interested in a man s ability to get over hard periods of his life, his behavior in these periods because he had a hard life himself. Frost usually describes winter, night, bad weather (they are often found in one poem, like night and bad weather in Acquainted with the Night) - the situations where a man is tested on steadfastness, endurance, ability to keep his virtue. Types of nature in Frost s poetry symbolize human states; they can be called the landscape alphabet used for reproduction of thoughts.in Frost s poetry is usually showed from its grey, not festive side. It is, as a rule, indifferent to people. The exception is Two look at two . The doe and the deer (representatives of nature) are friendly to the boy and the girl.
