Robert Frost-No gold can stay.
Robert Frost-Beauty is fleeting
Edit the introduction of this poem.
"There is no shortage of gold" is one of Robert Frost's representative works. This poem was written in 1923, that is, it was published in Yale Review in 10 that year, and was later included by Frost in a collection of poems called New Hampshire. This collection of poems also includes other famous works of Frost, such as "Looking at Two" and "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Night", which also helped Frost win the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. Although this exquisite poem is only eight lines, it is still regarded as Frost's best work. Beautiful scenery will disappear, and it is also included in 1967 Susan eloy Hinton's novel The Outsider and 1983 Susan eloy Hinton's film of the same name.
Gold Can't Stay is also an album released by a punk band named New Found Glory on 1999.

Translation 1
No gold can be preserved for many years.
The first green of nature is gold, and the first new green of nature is gold.
The most difficult hue for her to grasp. It is also the color that she can't keep.
Her early leaf was a flower; Her first leaf is like a flower;
But only for one hour. However, it can only last for a moment.
Then the leaves fade, and then the new leaves like flowers degenerate into old leaves.
So Eden fell into grief. Because the Garden of Eden was in sorrow,
As a result, dawn arrival day, dawn continues to shake the day.
There is no gold left. Precious things like gold are hard to keep.
Translation 2
The new green of nature is gold, and the first green of nature is gold.
Delicious colors are hard to preserve. Her most difficult hue to grasp.
The first leaf bud is a flower; Her early leaf was a flower;
It only lasts for a while. But only for an hour.
Then the new buds grow into leaves. Then the leaves became leaves.
Eden suddenly fell into sorrow, so Eden fell into sorrow,
It's dawn So dawn came to day.
Gold will soon become everything. There is no gold left.

About the author:
Robert Frost is the most popular American poet in the 20th century. He used to be a shoemaker, teacher and farmer in New England. His poems are based on the theme of rural life, which has a lot in common with19th century poets. In contrast, it is less modernistic. He has won four Pulitzer Prizes and many other awards and honors, and is known as the poet laureate in American literature. It was not until the second half of his life that his poetic achievements were recognized. In the next few years, he established the image of an important writer.
As a modern poet, in the form of poetry, Frost walked out of a completely different road from most poets in the 20th century. Instead of trying to reform the form of poetry, he inherited the tradition and was satisfied with expressing new content in the old form. He likes to use plain spoken English, with a gentle and calm tone and familiar rhythm. His poems generally follow the traditional rhythmic forms, such as rhyming double lines, three lines, four lines and sonnets, and they are all well written. Frost seldom writes free verse. He once said that poetry without rhyme is like tennis without cover. He seems to have a soft spot for iambic. He once said, "For English poetry, iambic and slightly changed iambic are the only natural rhythms." Indeed, among the four main steps of English poetry-iambic, iambic, iambic and iambic, iambic is by far the most common step in English poetry, so it is also called the most natural rhythm, that is, a weak pronunciation followed by a stressed syllable. Poems written in this cadence have a distinct rhythm, continuous, gentle and smooth, which is more suitable for expressing the quiet and simple beauty of rural scenery. No wonder Frost likes iambic in several traditional iambic. The greatest feature of his poetry writing is that he is good at expressing a profound philosophy with seemingly insignificant things in front of him. It is precisely because he is good at saying abstract concepts with concrete things that his poems are easily accepted and understood by readers! Stopping by the Woods on a snowy night and The Road Not Taken are obvious examples! No wonder these two poems have been in the top ten of the most popular 100 English poems! The former has been ranked first for a long time!
Robert Frost chose a barren road, experienced pain and hardship, and constantly recalled the road he had no choice during his journey. "If I had taken the road I had no choice, maybe I wouldn't have suffered so much?" The poet wrote all kinds of confusion and melancholy in his long life. At the end of the poem, the poet did not point out the final result after choosing this road, but said "tgat makes everything different". Frost expressed his views on modern life in the form of traditional poetry; Revealing social knowledge through natural description; Looking forward to the ideal and not lacking reality; The duality of tradition and modernity, nature and society, ideal and reality can be seen everywhere in the poet's poems. This unique duality in Frost's poetry is an important reason why he is unique in the poetic world.
Frost can write seemingly simple poems, but every time you read them, you will dig deeper and find many winding paths and many different feelings. So Frost gave me a new understanding of metaphor. He made a metaphor that we thought was simple and clear. But then, you find that this is a metaphor. "I have a few miles to run before I go to bed." Here we can see that the same poem has different meanings. The first of the last two lines (knowing the night) is about distance, running and sleeping, and the second line, sleeping symbolizes death. But this symbol is not abrupt at all. I think Frost is a shy man, but I think he may be the greatest poet in the 20th century, if the phrase "the greatest poet" still makes sense. I think Frost may be ahead of another competitor, namely William Butler Yeats.
