The word “night” is a metaphor for darkness, which can be interpreted as loneliness or depression. The speaker appears to be well acquainted with feelings of sadness. Frost can personally identify with this sense of being surrounded by darkness as he unfortunately endured heavy tragedy in his life: prematurely losing all but two of his six children followed by…

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).

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…

Owing to the fact that Hayden had been just a child when this memory occurred, he described the house to be angry whenever the wood was “splintering, breaking” (Robert 6).
