Where had I heard this wind before
Change like this to a deeper roar?
What would it take my standing there for,
Holding open a restive door,
Looking down hill to a frothy shore?
Summer was past and the day was past.
Sombre clouds in the west were massed.
Out on the porch's sagging floor,
Leaves got up in a coil and hissed,
Blindly striking at my knee and missed.
Something sinister in the tone
Told me my secret my be known:
Word I was in the house alone
Somehow must have gotten abroad,
Word I was in my life alone,
Word I had no one left but God.
what is this poem sayiing, what is the speakers responce is it thoughtfull and or emotional to a present situation
When there's no one about but you and God...it's pretty much the same as being alone...
As in the garden of Eden, Adam HAD "God"...but he was still alone, "it is not good that the man should be alone, I will make an help meet for him."
To me this poem is a person speaking in maturity...and finding that all he trusted as helpful is not able to answer what he is really seeking...
And realizing only God can answer him...but God won't. Bereft.
My god my god why hast thou forsaken me...
I look at everything through a "spiritual prism", but I think Frost is a very spriitual man.
we, uhh, had a thread on this very poem a few weeks ago. Everybodystudying Frost this year?
Oops sorry...I see it stickied up there...
I just skipped past that to what I thought was current...happened to be familiar with that poem.
I guess Colleen already had gotten what she needed.
