Throughout all of Frost poem he is shown to explain the way of human life in one way or another. In this poem of “ The Trial By existence” he speakes on the human life of bravery, fear, and paradise. Life is filled with many adventures. Throughout this poem one main lesson that could be learn is go out and face your fears no matter what the reward is.
Paradise is something everybody hopes for in life. Paradise is a place where you can relax, have luxury and be stress free. There are 2 main types of paradise, mentally and physically. On earth no place can really be paradise, it is all chaos and out of order wherever you may be. It may seem like paradise if you are on vacation but when you snap back to reality it will go back to chaos and nonsense. Mentally paradise would be something like going into heaven. When your soul leaves earth and goes up. The whole second stanza talks of some of the goodness in heaven. The physical paradise would be you on a vacation. Your body is somewhere, your relaxing not stressing or worrying about anything.
When you are in heaven it is said to be perfect. Streets of gold, no evil, and nothing but love. When your soul goes to heaven that represents the mental paradise that you are now in. In the mental paradise, nothing can happen to your body
The physical paradise that everybody use to have is earth. God made it a way for everyone to enjoy. People have came and destroyed it leaving humans without a place to call a physical paradise. A beach trip, or trip out of town is what most people think is a paradise relaxation trip. When in reality nobody has really been to a place of paradise where things are perfect.
When you get to heaven, you do not think of the rewards. You think of the happiness that ...
... middle of paper ...
...is filled with streets of gold and no pain or suffering. Line 61 shows a item of gold that comes from heaven by God almighty. Paradise is not a place you can up a go to, you have to live and work your way to get there.
The speaker creates the image of fear in lines 49-51. The agony god can put on you can be physically or mentally and at the end of the day, God gets the ending word. Doing wrong can allow him to make you suffer. Line 70 also shows fear, because stripping a man of their pride can take away their joy.
Throughout this poem of “The Trial by existence” many life lessons are learned. One is to go out and face your fears in hope of building up confidence for another fear. After facing your fear no matter what the reward may be. Show the valor to stand up and conquer it. Then live your life with no fear to eventually get the big reward of paradise of heaven.
...ing that there may just be something truly holy out in the world under the guise of a common sight. Just as “Holy Thursday” from Songs of Experience is not just brutal honesty and looking at the world without a veil, there is still a message of hope in the last stanza. Where the speaker declares that some where there is a place where the sun shines, rain falls, and poverty does not exist. That type of hope only comes from experience, where one has seen enough to openly speak on what is truly happening and knows that there is always some place better.
Otherwise we never acknowledge him (Paulson 122). The author perceives death as a denial of humanity. Which makes character treat death us a surprise to his existent (Goldhamer 5). It perceives man being to concern about worldly matters that forget to acknowledge God. Everyman used "blind," as a metaphor to acknowledge how people react when they think about death (Goldhamer 3). As the book of Isaiah when it describes the true advocates when they recognize that they are sinners, who confess their sin and lament deeply by its situation but seems hopeless. "We touch the wall like the blind, and fondled to walk like no eyes..." (Isaiah 59:11). Of all the creatures that God made human beings are by far the supreme and more complex. However, because of pride humans often forget that God is its creator, that are created beings, and which are therefore dependent on God. God sends Death to Everyman because of their ignorance toward him (Goldhamer 2). On some point of our lives we well have to give an account for our actions. Death warns the hero that "before God thou shalt answer" (107). In other words, Death tries to frighten the reader and the character (Goldhamer 3). Death can appear when least expected. Just like the coming of God. The play tries to teach the reader that this is why we should live a life of righteousness before the lord (Goldhamer 3)
Frost is far more than the simple agrarian writer some claim him to be. He is deceptively simple at first glance, writing poetry that is easy to understand on an immediate, superficial level. Closer examination of his texts, however, reveal his thoughts on deeply troubling psychological states of living in a modern world. As bombs exploded and bodies piled up in the World Wars, people were forced to consider not only death, but the aspects of human nature that could allow such atrocities to occur. By using natural themes and images to present modernist concerns, Frost creates poetry that both soothes his readers and asks them to consider the true nature of the world and themselves.
Frost’s sentence structure is long and complicated. Many meanings of his poems are not revealed to the reader through first glance, but only after close introspection of the poem. The true meanings contained in Frost’s poems, are usually lessons on life. Frost uses symbolism of nature and incorporates that symbolism into everyday life situations. The speaker in the poems vary, in the poem “The Pasture”, Frost seems to be directly involved in the poem, where as in the poem “While in the Rose Pogonias”, he is a detached observer, viewing and talking about the world’s beauty. Subsequently, the author transfers that beauty over to the beauty of experiences that are achieved through everyday life.
Toni Morrison's novel Paradise addresses the idea of "paradise" and how it is achieved. Morrison uses the town of Ruby to demonstrate how isolation can not and will not create a "paradise," while also using the women of the Convent to reveal that "paradise" is an inner concept that can only be achieved through understanding and acceptance. The author takes four broken women, kills them, and has them reborn into a "paradise" of their own making.
“The way [one] expresses both the agony of life and the possibility of conquering it through is the sheer toughness of the spirit. They fall short of
	A place of eternal happiness, so it seems. Though looks can be decieving, we have
... divine law and letting reason govern one’s actions, they can achieve complete happiness. One must not totally disregard temporal goods, but their actions should be based on their goods of the will, not temporal goods.
Life and death are two things that we as humans must all face. The road from one to the other, from life to death, is a long and at times, both joyous and painful one. Robert Frost’s poems are a prime example of these times and trials. The poems I chose for this paper highlight them, and with Frost’s allegory, they present a sort of silver lining to the string of dark and dreary words he’s pieced together for these poems. The depressing tone to the poems “Acquainted with the Night”, “Nothing Gold Can Stay”, and “Stopping by the Woods on a Snowing Evening” could be attributed to the death of many of Frost’s family members, and how despite this he overcame it all, and at the end of his life, was a successful writer. These poems to not go into great explanation of the details of Frost’s life, however, I believe that they are representations of the things path that he’s walked, and how he viewed his actions and death in general.
Another ayah is: “So whatever you have been given is but (a passing) enjoyment for this worldly life, but that which is with God (Paradise) is better and more lasting for those who believe and put their trust in their Lord. And those who avoid the greater sins, and illegal sexual intercourse, and when they are angry, they forgive.” (Quran 42:36 & 37). This ayah says that paradise is more lasting for those who forgive when they are
In the second stanza, we are presented with golden wedding bells. This stanza has a total of twenty-one lines. These two things together seem to symbolize that the golden period in ones life happens in their twenties. The third line in this stanza, " What a world of happiness their harmony foretells!" tells of a marriage between two people. The new couple will be joined together in harmony, creating a world of happiness. Reference to a turtle-dove in this stanza symbolizes peace in this period of life. Compared to the first stanza, which used words such as "twinkle" and "tinkle", the second stanza gives off a more mature feel with words like "rapture" and "impel." The third stanza also refers to the future, as people at this age start thinking seriously about their future. In the first two stanzas, the bells are of desired metals, and the reader interprets them as positive sounds
...the unclear philosophy of the poem must also be looked at from an open-minded point of view. Applying the explanation of the poem, sentence by sentence to the semi-uncovered descriptions of the phases of life, a whole new story comes into perspective. Once studied and looked at carefully, the uncovering of each statement comes out and everything unclear and metaphorical that Frost writes is a lot easier to understand and see.
The tone in the first 11 stanzas of the poem seems very resigned; the speaker has accepted that the world is moving on without them. They says things like “I don’t reproach the spring for starting up again” and “I don’t resent the view for its vista of a sun-dazzled bay”. By using words like “resent” and “reproach”, the author indirectly implies that the speaker has a reason to dislike beautiful things. The grief that has affected the speaker so much hasn’t affected life itself and they has come to accept that. The author chooses to use phrases like ‘it doesn’t pain me to see” and “I respect their right” which show how the speaker has completely detached themself from the word around them. While everything outside is starting to come back to life, the speaker is anything but lively. “I expect nothing from the depths near the woods.” They don’t expect anything from the world and want the world to do the same thing in return. This detachment proves that the speaker feels resigned about themself and the world around
Frost’s use of comparisons helps the reader to better interpret the meaning of this poem. The picture created, with his use of imagery allows the reader to view his work from various perspectives. His analogies are very pragmatic. The reader is able to relate to the speaker’s feelings. After reading this poem it gives the reader a sense of understanding why the speaker wished he could go back to his past so much.
Frost uses nature as a reflection of human experiences; just like humanity it can have seasons and life cycles. He uses different scenes to depict a certain mood for readers to step into the psychological happening of a man. The idea of how seasons change, Frost compares it through the life cycles that humans encounter. Contrary to popular opinion, I believe that nature is not Frost’s central theme in his poetry; it is about the relationship that man has with nature in which can be seen from “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”, “The Road Not Taken”, and “An Old Man’s Winter Night.”
