4. Discuss the significant features of Robert Frost's poetry. Answer with special reference to 'Mending Wall' and 'Birches'.

Robert Frost’s technique  of using a number of  ordinary things to suggest beautiful  and unique things in nature was the result of the influence of great writers and poets like Emerson, Thoreau, Wordsworth. He admired the use of simplicity to suggest things with insightful and deep meaning. He used New England vocabulary in his poems extensively that it was unfamiliar and unusual for those outside New England. Frost was more drawn to science and philosophy. He stressed on the importance of poets associating emotion with sound and sense. He called the poem in its beauty and its slow, dignified exploration or reality. The poem ‘Mending Wall’describes a very ordinary incident, but Frost weaves a philosophical message through it, which is applicable for a world, which is shrinking day-by-day. The repairing of a wall or breaking down of a wall may be equal to breaking down of relationships or building relationships.
