One of the most cherished American poets was born on march 26, 1874, in San Francisco, California, Robert Frost, contradictory called, the Newly England poet, who was ―[the] most eminent [and the] most distinguished . . . Anglo-American poet.‖—T.S. Eliot. He identified himself with the rustic scenes and rural farms of New England; the trees, cows, rivers, brooks, woods and birches of New England were the main themes and subject matters for his simple-complex poetry (Kimmelman 171). Frost‘s individuality and uniqueness partly stems from being not an advocate or follower of any of the conventional poetic dictions, and partly from his rejection of the free verse movement of Walt Whitman (Bloom intro: I). In lieu of the conventional poetic diction and versification, he preferred to abide himself with ―meter and rhyme‖ a thing which contributed to his widely spread fame through the world. Frost, from the very beginning of his career as a poet, wanted his voice to be heard and understood by the majority, and not merely to achieve ―a success with the critical few who are supposed to know . . . [he] want[ed] to be a poet for all sorts and kinds‖ (qtd. in KImmelman 173). And perhaps for this reason, all of his writings bear a courtesy call for humanity to go back to Mother Nature where all people are equal. Therefore he gave birth to a revolutionary, mixed methodology in order to convey the depth and sophistication of his highly philosophical notions of man, God, nature and the relationship between them through simple, plain and everyday English. www.lighthouseacademy.org
Darkness, pessimism and gloomy chills are sent from the breezes of his simple-form poems. Such thrilled and melancholy themes occupy a big space in his world as a poet (Montashery 24). He is a depressed, rustic painter who has only the dark and green brushes that he uses to portray the secluded nature and God by human beings; ―He was revealing something wonderful about human life, or, if you wish, about his sense of what it was‖ (Bloom 9). With the advent of the industrial revolution, the factories, machines and emotionless humans who indulged themselves in the world of materialism, forgetting about the green fields and rolling hills of the countryside, Robert Frost voiced concerns about a future free of green birches and golden wheat and in turn free of the emotional and sensitive human.
