Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening Summary - LITERATURE WORLD.

Robert F rost Robert Frost (1874 – 1968) was an American poet. He is well known for his realistic description of rural life. He received 4 Pulitzer prizes for poetry. He received four Pulitzer prizes for poetry and was a special guest at President John F. Kennedy‘s inauguration. The poem Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening is considered a hallmark of simplicity. With only 16 lines, Frost used to describe it as "a short poem with a long name." It is said that Frost wrote this poem in 1922 in a moment of inspiration. The poem was first published on March 7, 1923, in the magazine New Republic . Frost's poetry collection New Hampshire , which went on to win a Pulitzer Prize, also featured this poem..

The poem, ‘Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening’ , explores the motivations of the poet, the inherent moods of the narrator , and his fixation with woods for an inner reason. Stopping by the woods on a snowy evening, a poem written by Robert frost in 1922 was published in New Hampshire in 1923. The writer of the poem is traveling in the dark through the snow and pauses with his horse near the woods by a neighbor's house to observe the snow falling around him..

“ Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” Setting The poem is set in New England in the winter. Although the particular location is not named, Frost owned and lived on a farm in Franconia, New Hampshire, which serves as the inspiration and physical setting of many of his poems..

“ Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” Setting As the title makes clear, the poem is set in the "woods on a snowy evening.“ In fact, it's the "darkest evening of the year," which suggests that this might be the winter solstice. More specifically, the speaker is "between the woods and frozen lake." The setting is also mostly silent, with the exception of the sound of wind and snowfall. Finally, the woods are expansive, as evidenced in the description "dark and deep.“ Together, these details establish the speaker's relative isolation as well as the fact that the speaker seems to exist in an "in between" space: the speaker is between the woods and the lake, between nature and civilization, and between the decision to stay and linger or to move on and fulfill certain "promises.".

SUMMARY Once the poet happened to travel through the dense woods, on his horse. It was a cold evening with heavy snowfall. Enchanted by the beauty of the woods, the poet suddenly stopped to admire the scene of the woods being covered with snow. The poet seemed to know to whom the woods belonged. He also guessed that the owner of the woods must be residing at the village and would not know that the poet had halted at his woods enjoying the snowfall there. The poet’s horse too must have been equally puzzled at this sudden pause at a place where there was no farmhouse or resting area. It happened to be the darkest evening of the year. Hence the horse shook his harness bells, as if to enquire if the poet had halted by mistake or to set right any sudden problem. There was total silence all around, except for the gentle sound of the breeze blowing, carrying with it snowflakes. Though captivated by the splendid beauty of the lovely, dense and dark woods, the poet could not remain there for long, as he had to travel over a long distance, covering many miles. Further he had to fulfill many promises or carry out many duties before his daily sleep or the eternal one. Perhaps the poet is reminded of his unfulfilled duties and responsibilities that he had to carry out before his tenure on earth ended. Hence he, with regret, realizes that he had to keep continuing his journey and could not rest before fulfilling his duties in life..

Frost’s ‘Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening’ taps on several themes such as life, death, commitment, pessimism vs optimism, and darkness. The main theme of this piece is the journey of life. It is present throughout the poem and highlighted in the last few lines. Humans versus nature: The speaker’s presence in the otherwise placid scene of the snowy woods mirrors the intrusion of human ideas into the natural world. Desire versus obligation: Though the speaker wants to remain in the dreamlike state of the woods, he is continually aware of his duties elsewhere. Secrets: The poem is marked by secrecy, and the reader is unsure of the nature of the speaker’s journey or obligations. Death: There is also the theme of old age or death in the poem. The last line, “Miles to go before I sleep”, speaks of that time in life when all activities will either come to a halt or meet an end. Hence, one must accomplish all one can before reaching that point..

Symbols The deep, dark, snow-covered woods symbolize the wayside attractions that human beings often fall prey. It also signifies the loneliness and desolation that envelopes man at certain times, leaving him in despair and misery. The village, owner as well as the farmhouse stands for the mundane world and human civilization. The horse symbolizes the motivational forces that prevent mankind to deviate from their goal. Imageries Visual descriptions like the snow covered woods and trees add to the picturesque beauty, while the auditory imageries such as the shaking of the harness bell, and sounds of the snowflakes take us to a different world altogether, hence providing the poem a realistic touch..

Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow..

. Gist of Stanza 1 One evening, the poet is out on his horse for some important work and stops by some woods for some time on his way. He thinks he knows the owner of the woods and also knows that he lives in a village. He is enjoying his moment in solitude and is a bit relaxed thinking that the owner cannot see him immersed in the beauty of his snow-clad woods because his home is far away in the village. The unequaled beauty has captivated him and he has stopped there for some time to watch the snowfall in the forest..

There is no farmhouse close by and they are surrounded by the forest and a frozen lake, on the longest night of the year. These lines indicate that the poet is a humble person and they probably spend a lot of time together. Though the animal cannot speak but the poet can feel its emotions..
