About Me:

 

 

My name is Robert Frost. I was born in San Fransico, CA, in 1874. Much of my early life was spent in San Fransico, but by age eleven, my family was ill content with our home, and thus we took off. Both my parents were teachers, and at a very young age, I was exposed to a wide varity of literature such as Shakespear, and others. I finished highschool as the head of my class. I then enrolled in the ivy league college Dartmouth, in Hanover, but droped out due to bordem. Since then I have written indepentantly across the United States, and taught at Harvard University. My first poem "My Butterfly" was published November 8, 1894 in the New York newspaper, The Independant. My Wife Died in 1938, from a sudden heart attack.

My Poetry, Recorded in my house, 1956.

 

"Nothing Gold can Stay"

 

Nature's first green is gold,

Her hardest hue to hold.

Her early leafs a flower;

But only so an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf.

So Eden sank to grief,

So dawn goes down to day.

Nothing gold can stay.

 

A brief Interpretation: By Curtis

(Excerpt from my research paper)

 

The way Robert Frost speaks in this poem, presents a very reflective, or sentimental, view on humanity. As the poem goes on, he never uses "I" or any third person terms, to keep it as more of a statement. The ending line, "Nothing gold can stay." Is very much a blunt and honest statement. By saying this he almost ends the poem with a sigh, stateing that nothing good in this world can last. Every line present in the poem carries some moving and thoughtful line, while retainging its very realistic message.
