Thesis: Robert Frost uses metaphors with euphonic sounds to express his desire for adventure in "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening."

Many people consider Robert Frost to be one of America's greatest poets, myself included. I believe one of his best poems to be "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening." In this poem, Frost describes a person stopping just outside of town in a wooded area with his horse. He stops for a moment to appreciate the wonder of the world that he has

In this one short literary work, Frost seems to point out that so many of us lose out on so much that has been placed on this earth for us to enjoy and experience. Whether that loss is due to the pace at which we live our lives, or the pressures from the outside world, or even the requirements of our duties is irrelevant. Whatever the reason, a loss it is, and a loss that many of us do not feel until it is too late to mend. It seems that Frost is trying to show the reader not to take things for granted as we walk in our daily paths, and to just stop, occasionally, and look into those woods. Explore those woods.

The speaker of the poem stands in the cold and admires the beauty that surrounds him, a beauty that he passed without notice possible an untold number of times, and although he would like to stay, the pressures that have caused his inability to explore in the past are soon to invade again. Frost, in line 7, may be using the metaphor of the horse nudging the speaker as if to ask if there is some mistake to show the pressures that are placed on us through our daily lives: society, family, and financial stature. In other words, we must resist the temptation to slow down so that we can be valuable members of society, provide for our family and have the material wealth to show others of our worthiness. Frost seems to be advising that, although one must normally surrender to these pressures, one must make time to take the journey and enjoy life, lest the chance be taken away.
