Tough and beautiful. What poetry! I really need to think about this, not sure if I got it all, but while rereading and reading again, the wonderful beauty and the story meaning does hit you in the heart...For poetry lovers definitely recommended. Here's the book title poem, well know I think to the connaisseurs, beautiful.... The Road not takenTwo roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it ben...
I enjoy poetry and Robert Frost is one of my favourite poets. This book is lovely to dip into as and when the mood takes me. I have read all of his poetry in this particular book. My favourite choice is predictably ...'The Road less Travelled' His clever use of imagery lifts his poems way above the ordinary.
This is a short selection of poems by Robert Frost, who was born in San Francisco, California, in 1874. Although he is considered to be one of the greatest American poets of the twentieth century, his first collection, "A Boy's Will" was originally published in England in 1913, during the 3 short years when he lived in England, between 1912-1915. In England he made some important acquaintances, including Edward Thomas and Rupert Brooke, who were both member of the group of six known as the Dymoc...
I forgot how much I love Robert Frost, haven´t read anything by him since High School and I regret it. It´s soo good.
The Road Not Taken and Other Poems contain three of Robert Frost’s earliest collections: A Boy’s Will, North of Boston, and Mountain Interval. Frost’s poems are simple yet powerful. He creates beautiful images that stir the emotions and touch all the senses. Some of my favorite poems include “To the Thawing Wind,” “Blueberries,” “The Black Cottage,” and “The Road Not Taken.”
ROBERT FROST; also known as: your tasteless dad's favourite poet; also known as: the unwitting MC of your shitty high school's commencement speech; also known as: Wallace Stevens for dumbasses. Author of easily the world's most consistently misread poem, a poem entirely making fun of dumbass blowhards, Frost is now read alloud by dumbass blowhards with deep earnesty the world over, which is, at the very least, something to admire. But even with the lens of irony Frost manages to bore me to tears...
Introduce your child to this wonderful poem - it will help with all roads they will take in life. One of the poems that you read over and over again as the decades pass; and with each decade you see not only where you have been, but also where you are going. The illustrations really are in sink with the poem - simple and vibrant - a wonderful gift book for a child.
Robert Frost's poetry has such a beautiful quietness to it and yet also is philosophical and thought provoking. This collection has so many great poems which certainly you have heard quoted at least once at some point in your life. A must for fans of poetry and nostalgia of an America that understood critical thinking.
"I took the road less traveled by, and that has made all the difference."I am in awe of how beautifully this book captures the majesty and mystery of Robert Frost's poem. That moment of indecision- which path to take- and those moments of inspiration when you realize that your journey has led you to a place of beauty and heart's ease; all these things are explored in this lovely picture book.The artwork is warm and welcoming, inviting the reader into the story of a young man who is making choice...
I got this book because one of my most favorite poems is The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. I was disappointed that I didn't find more poems in this book that I really liked. Maybe I need to read it again as it often takes more than one read with poetry---and books, too, for that matter!
The Road Not TakenTwo roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth;Then took the other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the better claim,Because it was grassy and wanted wear;Though as for that the passing thereHad worn them really about the same,And both that morning equally layIn leaves no step had trodden black.Oh, I kept the first for another day!Yet knowing how wa...
I absolutely am not a poetry fan but I still have a few favorite poems from what I've heard over the years, which actually can be counted on one hand. Yep. There's Poe's The Raven, an oldie rock song or two, and then the rest would be an assortment of Robert Frost's works: The Road Not Taken, Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, and Birches. This book contains two of those and then several that left no impression on me. I feel bad about that because I really love Robert Frost, or at least the
Some say the world will end in fire,Some say in ice.From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice,I think I know enough of hateTo know that for destruction ice is also greatAnd would suffice.A collection of poems centering around rural life, farmlands and ordinary people. Robert Frost's poems tend to study and examine social and philosophical themes, with their central idea being man versus nature.
Frost, do what only the exceptional poets do, he captures a moment, or moments that we all have experienced at one time in life all thru our whole life. "The Road Not Taken " can be placed against a passage in Longfellow's notebooks: "Round about what is, lies a whole mysterious world of might be,—a psychological romance of possibilities and things that do not happen. By going out a few minutes sooner or later, by stopping to speak with a friend at a corner, by meeting this man or that, or by tu...
It may sound cliched but this has always been a favorite of mine...I'm far from being able to recite any of his works, but something about curling up with this book feels like home to me.
#118 of 2020Watched on Vooks.The poem remains great and a classic, but the accompanying illustrations lifts it unto another level.
I feel bad for saying this, but besides "The Road Not Taken". I really only liked two more of Robert Frost's poems. I ended up giving this 3.5 stars and rounded up to two on Goodreads.Poems have never been my thing anyway so I am not that surprised that none of them really moved me besides that one and two others. I think what got me is that most of the poems rhythm and meter seemed off because of the way that the sentences were written with commas and periods.For example from In The Home Stretc...
Poetry is not my forte, but I can respect the written word in all forms. Robert Frost was the people's writer, for nature and its constructs, for wildlife and its resilience to man, for man and his flaws to others and himself.Many of these poems stray away from convention and appear to be written as short stories in verse, yet the ones I favor are the traditional, straight-forward, highly rhythmic ones.
