Robert Frost: Poems
what was the poets reaction on horse unpatient walk and what it symboliseS?
stopping by woods on a snowing evenging
stopping by woods on a snowing evenging
At first he worries that the owner of the property will be upset by his presence, but then he remembers that the owner lives in town, and he is free to enjoy the beauty of the falling snow. The sleigh horse is confused by his master’s behaviour — stopping far away from any farmhouse — and shakes his harness bells in impatience. THe horse is conditioned by man to keep going and this impatience on the part of the horse juxtaposes the man's want to satay and simply enjoy the moment.
