    Summary of the research paper:

    This 6 page report discusses the American poet Robert Frost an the ways in which he depicted nature. Time and again, Frost personifies nature in human terms and points out the many ways in which what happens with an individual is a reflection of what happens throughout nature. Poets are generally interested in consciousness and how the natural world might reveal it; personality is not the point. Frost was interested in nature and the individual was beside the point. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

    Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
    - his stormy brow, her sky blue eyes, emotions like a summer storm. Very few, however, have so masterfully crafted their verse to fully express the range of natures  power and influence or suited the tone of a poem to encompass both human nature and "true" nature. For Frost, "the truly expressive act combines and administers disciplines both from  within and from without" (Richardon 197). It can easily be argued that little difference between humanitys inner nature and the nature of the world outside. Time and again he  personifies nature in human terms and points out the many ways in which what happens with an individual is a reflection of what happens throughout nature. In fact, one  may go as far as to say that he saw nature as separated from humanity only by virtue of humanity removing itself from the natural world. Nature never leaves,  humans are the ones to leave natures. Many of his poems clearly demonstrate the ways in which the peace of being fully connected with nature can only occur when a  human steps outside of their rigidly human realm and fully comprehends the simple fact that they (we) too are part of nature. Felt, not just Read The greatest compliment one  can pay a poet about his or her work is to say that the poetry was "felt, not just read." Certainly, such is the case with Frosts work.  Many of his poems have crossed over from being works of literature to be studied into the common lexicon of the English language. When someone mentions "the road not  taken" or "the road less traveled" it is often without any realization of Frosts famous poem, much less that such common phrases are taken from it.
