Self reflection of Robert Frost

Nature serves as a lure, drawing the attention of the poet away from his duties and toward the peace and tranquility that would move into if he were to f drill with nature and abandon the human issues he faces in society. However, the poet cannot do this, for he has a sense of art to himself and others that prevents him from surrendering to the lure of nature and from abandoning the affairs of this world. Frost uses enjambment to retain the reader from one line to the next and to link images.

The verse form is written in iambic tetrameter, and this meter is observed guardedly throughout the poem. The regularity of the meter has two effects--it creates a genuine lazy feeling that contributes to the idea that the speaker is tired and wants to go to sleep, and it imitates the regularity of the one dollar bill's hooves when the carriage is moving. The rhyme avoidance is also regular, with a slight variation in the wear of the four stanzas. The scheme is AABA in the first stanza, and BBCB in the second. The third is CCDC, and the variation in the 4th is that the scheme is DDDD. Again, this shift in rhyme along with the repetition of the third line, repeated exactly as the 4th line, again indicates sleepiness in a way that casts a spell over the reader. The

use of enjambment has a similar effect, contributing to the sense of perseveration and rhythm.

The second and third stanzas depict the reaction of the poet's horse, first as it may be puzzled that he has stopped, and second as he shakes his bells to ask if a mistake has been made.

He is torn here(predicate) between the peace and tranquility of the woods, described as "lovely, unfairness and deep" (13), and the poet's own responsibilities. The failure to use enjambment at the end of the poem has the effect of coming to a stop, fire in that the poet in the real world should be doing the verso and starting his journey once more. The last three lines ar connected by commas and indicate a shift in thought, from the dark woods which are so enticing in the first line to the responsibilities and the reality of the poet's life.:

The stop made by the poet is unusual, as can be seen from the second stanza as the poet notes how his horse may find this "queer" because the poet has chosen a dictate far from civilization, id
