Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening (1923)

By: Robert Frost  Page 637

"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" has a nice tone of relaxation. As I read this poem I can see myself on the horse, looking through the woods at the falling snow. I would take a deep breath and release it along with all the stresses I store from this world. Do you have your own escape? When life gets just a little too heavy, a little much to bare. It is good to have this place to regain your sanity.

  1. I also enjoyed reading this poem and I know that I always feel better when I take the time to just enjoy all the wonderful nature around me. I enjoyed reading you take on it.

  2. I got the same sense of 'stop to smell the roses' from the poem; being able to stop and get your bearings before continuing the journey in life. I did however also got the theme of toying with death from the speaker.
