foundation of human existence. Humans are prone to falling victim to nature’s temptation. For instance, we fall prey to the majestic beauty of a sunset, or the exquisite scenery at the Grand Canyon. In Robert Frost’s poem, “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”, “Stopping by Woods” is a gratuitous action, a grace note, and imaginative possibility” (Ingebretsen 2). Nature can certainly be described as the “siren of the sea”, alluring the speaker to become corrupted by nature’s mysterious trait.…

Saddling a Horse One of my favorite things to do to clear my head is to saddle up and go for a horseback ride. Before one goes on a ride, the horse must be saddled properly. First, it must be brushed. This step is important because if the loose hair is not removed, the horse may try to do it himself, flinging the rider to the ground. After the horse is brushed, a saddle pad is placed on the horse’s back. The placement of the pad is critical for the comfort of the horse; it should be centered on…

Robert Frost wrote many poems throughout his 89 years of life. Most of the poems focused on nature, as did, “Stopped by Woods on a Snowy Evening.” The speaker of the poem is alone in the woods, clearly isolated. Isolation, even when self chosen, is difficult to contend with. “Stopped by Woods on a Snowy Evening” focuses on isolation.
