Summary
"Stopping
by Woods on a Snowy Evening" is a thought-provoking poem
composed by Robert Frost. In this poem, the poet describes the conflict
between love of nature and call of social responsibilities.
On a dark winter evening, the narrator stops his little horse to
watch the snow falling in the woods. Finding that the owner of the woods is
absent, her lingers his stay. At this his horse is confused. He shakes his
harness bell to ask if there is some mistake. Now the narrator realizes the
pull of obligations and the considerable distance before he can rest for the
night.
In short, the poem trumpets the beauty of nature and hints at the
need to carry on the daily affairs of life. The world of fantasy is very
inviting. But one must maintain balance between the world of fantasy and
reality.
