Lost and Found: A Newly Discovered Poem by Robert Frost

“Nothing New New” was written in 1918, a long time before “Dust of Snow”, which was first published in an English magazine, in 1920, under the title that can be forgotten – “Saleh”. Here “snow dust”:

The way that the crow
Shook
Snow
From the Shakran tree

I gave my heart
Mood change
And save some part
From the day I was replied.

The poem fits the definition of WW. Odin for poetry as “an unforgettable speech.” The unique Frost gift was writing poems that burn a hole in your mind. You do not forget the best lines. They adhere to you – and change your life. I cannot think about the number of times that “snow dust” has returned in memory and “save part / the day I did.” The language is simple and specific, as the rhythms are created to achieve maximum effect. Rhymes, along with a dual -voltage line, closes the meaning in place. The entire poem is one sentence, outperforming that end.

An impressive collection of cut poems in “in” in “Fire and ice((1920) and)Nothing can remain gold((1923), which is the most prominent for me, “New Hampshire.” This re -reading, one sees the strengths and weaknesses of “nothing new”. Its metric shape is expected “fire and ice”, with a mixture of strong quadruple – a line of four Beats – links two shortening lines, “nothing new -” and “the same dream” again. Today-“Snow Dust”-to “Spray” because it strikes the face of the headphone. Dust He is Snow, in fact, the touch experience that shows “the dream of winter again”.

Frost is among the great winter poets, for him, regret, even fear. (See “Desert Places” of Frost, from 1933, to take another look at the winter as a psychological scene. In “Nothing New New”, “Winter Dream” remembers a time when the speaker was “young playing”. But he was also “sad” in those youthful days. You find him the current moment, “but it is strange that there is more sad than that,” a note that complicates passion – that is, it is sad but not now more than the past. The line “Nothing New -” brings the grammar to stop sliding, as if he was saying, “There was, he did so. Don’t be far from me.”

The last two lines are amazing for me: “Although I am on my way / the same dream again.” Reading this, I can only hear the echo of the clip, from “After selecting apples((1914), about the “Movement” while looking through a “part of the glass” wrapped from the frozen water basin:

Melting, and left it to fall and break.
But I was fine
On my way to sleep before falling,
I can say
What shape was his dream about to take.

One cannot read a poem by a major poet like Frost in isolation. Address lines, amplification, compensation, and challenge other lines. When, at the end of “nothing new”, Frost asserts that “more on my way / the same dream again”, does this mean on his way during This “winter dream” was dreaming first when he was young, but unfortunately to play? I think so, and I also think that Frost should have felt some dissatisfaction with the way the last lines fell. There is no high effective effect that one finds at the end of “fire and ice” or “nothing that can remain gold” or, of course, “snow dust”, and he is his most accomplished and not far cousin. There is an unstable open quality to “nothing new”, even as it is aware of a specific sound torque.

When collecting “New Hampshire” poems, Frost may have looked at “nothing new” and decided that he was not completely equal to the sequence of his poems. But I hope that I have included it, and I am happy because we are now; It has grace notes I don’t want to lose it. ♦
