Appreciation of Frost's Poem Ranch

In a letter to a friend, he once said, "I think the free life I spent on a farm in Delhi, a mile or two away from Lawrence, is probably the pinnacle of my creation." At that time, all we needed was time and silence. "The farm life mentioned by the poet is the leisurely years spent on the farm in Delhi from 1900 to 19 12.

The creation background of Ranch is Delhi Farm, where poets enjoy warmth and comfort. This poem also tells us that Frost is a man who loves labor and life. "I won't be away for long, so come on," repeated the poet. We don't know who he is talking to. Maybe he is telling his wife, maybe he is telling his partner, or he is inviting readers to join his work. No matter who it is addressed to, the brotherhood contained in it is unmistakable. The poet also described the love exchange between the calf and the cow: the calf stands beside the cow, and the cow licks it lovingly with her tongue ... In the poet's eyes, affection is natural, beautiful and priceless.

Pasture, written in 19 13, is a poem praising the pure beauty of nature. The poet praised the harmonious beauty of nature with the pasture as the background and Koizumi, the fallen leaves, the calf and the calf's mother as the foil. Blue sky and white clouds, gurgling springs and the chirping of animals all contain the true feelings of the secluded land. At the end of each section, the poet wrote: I won't be away for long. -You too. I arrived a while ago-you are here. It shows how friendly people are when they get along with each other. Nature, animals and humans, everything is so harmonious.

In Ranch, readers can't see "the cruelest April" and "the city in name only" in Eliot's The Waste Land, because Frost first described an idyllic picture of life and an idealized farm life. Spring springs and young calves give people new charm, and a happy and harmonious atmosphere hangs over the farm. Then, the poet hinted to the readers that "a disease that erodes the meaning of our life in New England". We not only saw the "dead leaves" in the water, but also read the escapist thought from the phrase "I want to go out …" repeatedly used by the poet.
