WILLFUL HOMING, by ROBERT FROST Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: It is getting dark and time he drew to a house Last Line: And to those concerned he may seem a little late Subject(s): Homecoming | |||
It is getting dark and time he drew to a house, But the blizzard blinds him to any house ahead. The storm gets down his neck in an icy souse That sucks his breath hke a wicked cat in bed. The snow blows on him and off him, exerting force Downward to make him SIt astride a drift, Imprint a saddle and calmly consider a cuurse. He peers out shrewdly into the thick and swift. Since he means to come to a door he will come to a door, Although so compromised of aim and rate He may fumble wide of the knob a yard or more, And to those concerned he may seem a little late. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...COMING HOME AT TWILIGHT IN LATE SUMMER by JANE KENYON THE NEGATIVES by PHILIP LEVINE THE WATER'S CHANT by PHILIP LEVINE THE EXILE'S RETURN by ROBERT LOWELL THE RETURN by EDGAR LEE MASTERS TAKING THE TRAIN HOME by WILLIAM MATTHEWS I SHALL RETURN by CLAUDE MCKAY |
