It is a cool early afternoon in the middle of winter. Frost is flaking on the tips of the grass blades, and the sun is shining off the stark white frost. We are in southern Wales at an almost empty rugby stadium. My mother and I are on a tour through this stadium. There is an occasional speech from the tour guide, but after every one of them there is awkward silence as we shuffle along. My mom is wrapped up like a pig in a blanket. If there was anything she would rid from the world then it would certainly be the cold. She always likes to wear accessories with her outfits. A scarf is wrapped around her elegantly and a woolen hat sits on her head. We are ushered into a well lit room with giants sitting around it. They were the rugby team called

  • Modern Frost

    1980 Words  | 4 Pages

    Robert Frost once said "In order to know who we are, we must know opposites." Few of his poems demonstrate this sentiment as well as "Directive" and "Desert Places". On the surface, the poem "Directive" details a person returning to an old rural town to find it deserted and in the process of being reclaimed by nature. The poem is told by someone who is either omniscient or very close to the main figure of the poem. The narrator of the poem can be seen as some sort of guru, priest, or spiritual guide. In "Desert Places," the poem is told by someone who is passing by a field on their way somewhere and reflecting on loneliness and their isolation. In both of these poems, the speakers takes the subject of the poem on a journey that details the conflicting relations of man's natural world and instinct and his modern constructed world and civilizations. According to "Directive," in order for the subject to be whole, he must recognize that man cannot change the natural world or the true nature of himself just as the people in the now deserted town could only change the natural condition of the land temporarily. Reconciling this fact, like when the man sips from the man-made but naturally altered cup, is the only way in which one may accept the true nature of themselves and receive salvation. "Desert Places," the earlier of these two poems, does not supply as definite of a resolution as "Directive" does, but it does imply that isolation and self-exploration are necessary for one's psychological survival. Both of these poems relay survival techniques for the individual living in the modern, industrialized world using natural imagery and symbolism.

I walked into the kitchen only to be greeted by my mother cooking dinner. She stood there one hand on her hip, her one leg stuck out at her side, knee slightly bent, stirring the pot holding the spoon all the way at the tip of the handle. She looked as pissed off as could be. My mother always felt she could be doing a million other things besides cooking dinner. We sat there talking until I heard a familiar soft rumble in front of our house. The rumble was accompanied by my father fidgeting at the front door. His old noisy Bronco always made his presence known. He plodded down the hallway into the kitchen to greet my mother with a peck on the cheek. After one more quick stir she plopped a hot pad on the table followed by a pan of sliced meatloaf in sauce. The smell of the meat, potatoes, and veggies filled the kitchen instantly and the family gathered around the table.
