William Wordsworth is universally recognized as a great poet of Nature. But as the poem unfolds, it becomes clear that the speaker is concerned not only with child's play and natural phenomena, but also with the point at which physical and spiritual reality merge: ― I like to think some boy's been swinging them But swinging doesn't bend them down to stay As ice – storms do‖ The poem Birches contains the image of slender trees bent to the ground temporally by a boy's swinging on them or permanently by an ice storm. Frost wrote that, ―Man has need of nature, but nature has no need of man‖. The world of Frost's poetry is beautiful but it is also harsh and uncaring. His poetry has been called traditional, experimental, regional, universal, and even pastoral. It might even be that people sensed his step forward in the direction of modernizing the interplay of rhythm and meter while writing exactly how people spoke. It could also be because he used traditional verse forms that were understood by one and all. It could be because he wrote poems about rural life drawing a distinct contrast between its innocence and peacefulness and the depression and corruption of city life. Robert Frost was, quite simply, one of America's leading 20 th century poets. Robert Frost wrote exceptional prose, applying ordinary and sincere language his poems enclose concept of symbolism, obscure significances, sounds, rhyme, meter, metaphors and more. He also wrote plain fictions about common people, usually inhabitants of rustic New England. In addition, his literary verses are uncomplicated and profound. His poetry was full of emotional appearances about his personal life and behavior. No other living poet has written so well about the actions of ordinary men his wonderful dramatic monologues or dramatic scenes come out of a knowledge of people that few poets have had, and they are written in a verse that uses, sometimes with absolute mastery, the rhythms of actual speech‖. Frost's virtues as a poet and artist are extraordinary. The poet/critic Randall Jarrell often praised Frost's poetry and wrote, "Robert Frost, along with Stevens and Eliot, seems to me the greatest of the American poets of this century.
