Omtale; The Road Not Taken and Other Poems av Robert Frost

(Dette innlegget inneholder affiliate linker.)

Nå kommer nok en omtale av en diktsamling. Denne gangen er det The Road Not Taken, and Other Poems av Robert Frost.

Beskrivelse fra Goodreads
"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference."

These deceptively simple lines from the title poem of this collection suggest Robert Frost at his most representative: the language is simple, clear and colloquial, yet dense with meaning and wider significance. Drawing upon everyday incidents, common situations and rural imagery, Frost fashioned poetry of great lyrical beauty and potent symbolism. Now a selection of the best of his early works is available in this volume, originally published in 1916 under the title Mountain Interval. Included are many moving and expressive poems: "An Old Man's Winter Night," "In the Home Stretch," "Meeting and passing," "Putting In the Seed," "A Time to Talk," "The Hill Wife," "The Exposed Nest," "The Sound of Trees," and more. All are reprinted here complete and unabridged.


Mine tanker om boka
Jeg hadde sansen for denne, selv om jeg personlig slet litt med å lese noen av de lengre diktene. Hvis en er på jakt etter en grei introduksjon til Robert Frost, kan denne diktsamlinga allikevel være verdt å sjekke ut.
