Stopping by Woods of Mr. Frost
To many, Robert Frost might come across as a lyricist of nature, a 20th century James Russell Lowell. His stubborn traditional form, however, often obscures the tragic view of life that his poetry typically projects. While Frost stands in the line of great New Englanders like Emerson and Hawthorne, he has more than a touch of gothic about him, and a consciousness that is vibrant with the passions of 20th century experience.
