7、m gives reader the sense of following.This poem is from the world-famous poet, Robert Frost, who was born in San Franciso and got his whole-American glory in the 1990s. Frost was one of the most popular poets in America during his lifetime and was frequently called the countrys unofficial poet laure
8、ate. He was farming in Derry, New Hampshire when, at the age of 38, he sold the farm, uprooted his family and moved to England, where he devoted himself to his poetry. There are 10 volumes of poems published by Frost in his whole life. This poem is belong to his third volume Moutain Interval(1916),
9、and also one of my favorite poem. “Frost had rejected the revolutionary poetic principles of his contemporaries, choosing instead the old-fashioned way to be new.”(History and Anthology of American Literature: 167) He prefers to use the traditional forms of lyric and narrative, and the simple words
10、to express a new and profound philosophy. As a poet of nature he had obvious affinities with romantic writers. He saw nature as a storehouse of analogy and symbol, but he had little faith in religious dogma or speculative thought. His concern with nature reflected deep moral uncertainties, and his p
11、oetry, for all its apparent simplicity, often probes mysteries of darkness and irrationality in the bleak and chaotic landscapes of an indifferent universe where men stand alone, unaided and perplexed. In Frosts poetry, there are various metaphorical objects, such as natural scenery, phenomenon, ani
12、mals and flowers in nature, others are closely associated with life, farm tools, food, womens beauty, human body, religion and mythology, etc. All these reflect the poets love for nature and life, his sad experience in life and the influence religion exerted upon western peoples daily life.This poem
13、 is a typical example. In this poem, Frost reviewed his trouble in his life, which is two different ways of life. Once he was facing two different roads, one is fair while the another one is grassy. He stood and thought for a long time. “And sorry I could not travel both, and be one traveler; long I
14、 stood and looked down one as far as I could to where it bent in the undergrowth.” He was confused which one to take. Because the curiosity leads him to look forward both, and he thought he could take one first then another one later. “Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever
15、come back.” But finally, the fact led a deep philosophy, which made him feel remorse for his original choice. “I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” In conclusion, this poem announced itself to be about important issues in life: about the nature of choice, of decisi
16、on, of how to go in one direction rather than another and how to feel about the direction you took and didnt take. Although the symbols are only two very common roads in the nature, his poem still give readers profound affects. Not only facing the roads of forest, but also the troubles in anytime an
17、d anyplace of peoples life, the choice is the most common thing but also the most difficulty trouble in everyones daily life. Every decision will lead a totally different result. Poet used a very vivid way to announce this fact.References1吴伟仁, 美国文学史及选读第二册M, 外语教学与研究出版社，19902 William H. Pritchard, On
