He lost his father at the age of 1 1, and then moved to Northeast New England with his mother. One of the greatest features of Frost's poetic style is unpretentious and profound implication, which contains profound thoughts and philosophies in plain content and unpretentious poetry. This is not only Frost's artistic pursuit, but also the secret of his career success. Before and after this, I worked as a textile worker, a teacher, ran a farm and began to write poems. He roamed many places on foot and was known as "the peasant poet of New England". Frost's poems first attracted attention in America at the end of 19 12. After his family moved to Britain to settle down, he continued to write poems, and was supported and encouraged by some British and American poets, ezra pound, who published poetry anthologies The Will of Teenagers (19 13) and The North of Boston (196543).

Frost is often called an "alternative poet", which means that he is in a period of alternation between traditional poetry and modernist poetry. He and Eliot are also called the two centers of modern American poetry. Freud's poems are full of the local flavor of New England, with plain language and American colloquial color, and the poet is regarded as an American national poet. Robert Frost (1874111963) is a poet. His poems begin with descriptions of simple events, but usually end with profound connotations far beyond the descriptions of specific events. This technique of expressing the universal meaning of truth through specific descriptions of some special events is a typical style of Robert Frost. A careful reading of his poem 《》 will reveal that his style is very rich. Taking a nap by the forest on a snowy night is one of the poet's most famous poems. Published in New Hampshire on 1923. Story introduction, story introduction, story introduction, story introduction:: The poem begins with a situation. One winter evening, a man named Robert Frost was walking on his way to a place ... It snowed. When he passed by. By a forest. He stopped to watch the snowflakes falling into the dark Woods. The man knew this place very well, because he knew whose Woods these were and where the owner lived, but no one saw him standing there admiring the flying snowflakes. In the first verse of this poem, the poet came to the edge of the Woods and was tempted by the Woods on a snowy night. The owner of the forest is comfortably staying by the warm fire at home. He wouldn't think how someone could be so stupid to stop at the edge of his forest on such a night and be lost in thought. The forest is just his property and can bring him benefits, that's all. For poets, the beauty of nature is not only pure beauty. The quiet forest has a mysterious atmosphere in the snow-covered search. There are no traces of human beings here, away from the noise, noise and commotion. The natural beauty in front of us is perfect and mysterious, which makes the poet yearn for the other side of the world and want to immerse himself in the fantasy world forever. The world in the forest described in the poem is quiet and lonely. It is the fantasy world in the poet's mind, and it also makes the poet have an infinite yearning for the other world. It coexists with another world with human and social responsibilities. Woods are natural, and villages are human. The forest symbolizes the fantasy world, while the owners and villages of the forest represent the real world. Poets come from the real world and are seduced by the other side of the world. The contradiction between nature and human beings, fantasy and reality is actively brewing. But the pony questioned. In the second and third paragraphs, the poet's thoughts reached a climax, and the pony felt confused and uneasy. There is no farmhouse nearby and there is no food supply, so why does he stay here? He is like a naive child, Chuanling asked his master. The poet woke up from the bell and walked out of his fantasy. But they are caught in the contradiction between fantasy and reality. The poet did not answer the horse. The wind, blowing gently; Snow, falling gently; Besides, there was silence all around. Here, the horse acts as a middleman between the fantasy world and the real world. And obviously biased towards the latter. When the poet was completely lost in fantasy, he brought him back to reality. In fact, the horse here can be regarded as another self of the poet-the real self, or the perceptual self. Or the horse awakens the self of managing materials. Fantasy poets can abandon worldly responsibilities and obligations, troubles and misfortunes, and gallop freely in the fantasy world, ignoring worldly things. However, if the imaginary self is allowed to respond to the call of another world, the poet will choose to rest in peace. Reality or Li Qing's ego cannot stand idly by and watch. Li Liu and fantasy are fighting fiercely. The power of the other side of the world symbolized by the forest and the ice lake is so powerful that the poet can't see the snow cover, but only the darkest night of the year, which indicates the poet's final peace and destination. It is an eternal peace, coexisting with nature and isolated from the world. Li Liu's ego does not allow the poet to sleep, and the poet is awakened, which leads to a dilemma. I hope nature can give me some inspiration, but the world is just silent, only the wind blows gently and the snow falls gently. No matter what the poet is thinking and how fierce the inner struggle is, nature just runs on its track and has no time to take care of the poet. The fourth section tells us the result of the contradictory struggle. Although the Woods are lovely, dark and far-reaching, which makes people linger on the snowy night, it is not the time to stop here, and there are earthly responsibilities and obligations. The wish of life is unfinished, and you can't immerse yourself in fantasy. Li Qing defeated herself, and finally the poet repeatedly sang "One more journey to sleep", which shows the poet's helplessness. The repetition here has another effect, which seems to make people sleepy, indicating that perhaps the poet's rationality is weak, and his inner self still yearns for the eternal and quiet writing style and technique in the other side of the world: ... This poem is not only short and pithy, but also easy to understand and concise, but the poet shows the silence of the Woods on a snowy night and the loneliness of the characters' thoughts. It is unforgettable to ride a horse and enjoy the snow at night, but it is for the people. (1) Metaphor and symbol: An important feature of poetic language is the extensive use of images. The so-called image is to express people's intellectual and emotional experiences with specific images or pictures. The image expressed in this poem is very profound, and the forest and snow have strong symbolic significance. If the forest symbolizes the mystery and complexity of nature, then the snow in the poem symbolizes the purity and simplicity of the poet, forming a sharp contrast. In the poem, Frost reminds himself that "I must keep my promise" with the help of the reminder that "my pony must feel very strange-ask if there is any mistake", which is an anthropomorphic rhetorical device. In fact, the reference of "horse" can be regarded as the other side of the poet and the poet's "ID". A "I" urges forward and keeps going forward. All these vividly depict the poet's ambivalence at that time and enrich the connotation of poetry. Stopping in the forest on a snowy night seems to depict the scenery, but in fact, I feel my feelings through the scenery, and my feelings are in the scenery. Ma and the poet communicate silently, heart to heart, the scenery blends into the poet's heart, and he is willing to throw himself into the embrace of nature. That lovely and deep forest contains something mysterious and unknown, which has infinite temptation to the poet and fascinates him, and the poet finally wakes up: "I have an appointment first" here is the poet's responsibility for life (social family), and this strong responsibility makes. In this sentence, "sleep" expresses the poet's unswerving determination in a figurative way, and he feels that his life journey or creative career has a long way to go. This spirit of forging ahead is exactly the display of Frost's enthusiasm at that time. (2) Contrast: the contrast between man and horse. (omitted) (3) repetition: the reproduction of words, phrases or sentences in different places in poetry can play a role in rendering the atmosphere and echoing each other. Repeating two poems in the same place is actually a poetic extension and a very obvious extension. The repetition of the last two lines in Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Night is an extension of the poem and the real finishing touch of the whole poem. The first sentence "I have to sleep for 108,000 miles" continues the literal meaning expounded by other poems, but we must reach a higher level of poetry, knowing that the content implied in poetry is far more than what it directly says. Then we saw the second sentence, "There are still 108,000 miles to sleep", which is soft on the surface but extremely penetrating, and people can't ignore it, let alone forget it. "There are still 108,000 miles to go" in the last sentence tells the story of life, but it is a metaphor for death, which is different from woods (metaphor for the forest of death) and farm house (metaphor for the cemetery). The climax of the poem is highlighted in the last section, which is the conflict between the attraction of the mysterious forest and the tension of having to leave the forest because of responsibility. The forest is the induction of death, which resonates symbolically in the last section: the narrator is induced by what he thinks is "lovely, dark and deep" death, but he still has many tasks to complete before he can "sleep peacefully". (4) Rhyme: This poem is a relatively standard iambic four-tone poem, with the ending rhyme in the form of A A B A, B B C B, C C D C, D D D D, in addition, alliteration and semi-homophonic are also used in the poem, such as: His home is in the second line, the ... passed, he ... here, see ... stopped at the third line. The poet also repeated some phonemes many times in the poem, and we found many words beginning with /s/ in the poem, such as sweep. Snow, stop, click, sleep, this /s/ sound is repeated constantly, like the rustling of snow, giving people a quiet and elegant feeling. At the same time, many words beginning with /w/ can be found in the poem, such as wind, wood, general and nothing. Hearing this wind-like "whirring" sound, a cold feeling arises spontaneously. No, little ends with /t/, darkness begins with /d/, and the sounds at the end of /t/ and /d/ are very similar to the "click" sound of a horse stepping on ice. A sense of loneliness and gap is in it. The rhyme and semi-homophony in the poem are repeated many times in the same phoneme, and the ingenious arrangement of the first and last sounds greatly enhances the musical aesthetic feeling of the whole poem, makes the whole poem have a clear rhythm, and intuitively decorates and blends the form of the poem. Conclusion: picturesque. Poe once said: "Music, when combined with pleasant thoughts, is poetry;" Music without ideas is just music; The idea without music is prose in terms of its clarity. " Frost's song "Standing in the Woods on a Snowy Night" is a perfect interpretation of this classic saying. This poem is like beautiful music, which is easy to arouse readers' emotions and resonance; In addition, the profound philosophical implication of this poem is contained in the artistic conception and rich rhetoric, which is meaningful and can be called an immortal poem in the history of American literature.
