The poetry of Robert Frost contains two major themes of nature: The exploration of beauty and nature, and the interaction between man and nature. The role of these themes will be discussed in “The Tuft of Flowers”, “Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening”, “Once by the Pacific”, and “The Most of It”. It has been said many times that “all men have a common bond, or a thread that joins them together with nature.” Robert Frost’s poem “The Tuft of Flowers” explores the existence of such a bond, as experienced by the speaker. In the everyday circumstance of performing a common chore, the speaker discovers a sense of brotherhood nature. Frost contrasts a sense of aloneness with a sense of understanding to convey his theme of unity between man and nature. To understand the setting of the poem, one must first understand how grass was mowed in the time period in which the poem was written (1906). Grass was mostly mowed by hand using a scythe. It was often done in the dew of the morning for better mowing. This left the grass wet, and it needed to be scattered for drying. The phrase ‘turning the grass’ referred to the scattering of the grass for drying. In “The Tuft of Flowers”, the speaker has gone out to turn the grass. Whoeve
