Abstract
Robert Frost is a nature poet. He is a world of towering mountains and curving valleys, dense woods and leaf strewn road. Season follows season. Trees shed their leaves in autumn. Snow falls fast and flakes piles deep everywhere in winter. Flowers blossom and melted snow boils in creeks and rivers in spring. The summer sum stimulates blueberry buds. Day follows night and night follows day. The sun shines and the stars glitter. In frost’s poetry nature is all pervasive, touching man’s life at every point. The relationship between man and nature is a ruling theme with Frost. Frost’s views on the relationship between man and nature are ambivalent. Man is nature’s preservers as well as destroyer. On the one hand, man and nature exist together, close to each other; on the other, they exist in different realms, remote from each other. Some poems reveal that nature is beneficent to man while others point out that it is indifferent and maleficent. At times man covers under the tyranny of nature, terrified; at others, he contends against it courageously and tries even to master it. Some of his persons look upon nature as a source of revelation while other reject this view and believe that nature has nothing to reveal. The actions of man toward nature are double-edged. As the preserver of nature, man assumes the stewardship; of his environment. As the destroyer of nature he plunders it.
