Description
Robert Frost self-confessed that most of the collection was real-life accounts. He drafter the poems were “pretty near being the story of five years” of his life. Particularly, Robert commented that the first poem of the book, “Into My Own”, stated how he refused from persons and “Tuft of Flowers” revealed how he “came back to them”. In reality, most of the poems were scribed as early as 20 years before. He was definitely satisfied with the collection and said to an associate briefly after its issuance, “I expect to do something to the present state of literature in America.” Same as most of Robert’s writings, the poems in A Boy’s Will thematically relate with country life, nature, philosophy, and distinctiveness, while also indicating to earlier poets such as Emily Dickinson, Thomas Hardy, William Shakespeare, and William Wordsworth. Even with the first part of poems having a subject of receding from community, after that, Robert does not recede from his literary antecedents and, in its place, attempts to search his habitation in them. The title of the collection derives from the recalled lines in the poem “My Lost Youth” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: “A boy’s will is the wind’s will / And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts”. The line is, consecutively, a citation from Olaus Sirma in Lapponia (1675). Robert seemingly selected the title as a likeness of his own unruly younger life.Robert Lee Frost was a US poet. His writing was first produced in England before it was produced in America. Famous for his actual denotations of country life and his control of American idiomatic speech, Robert often scribbled of sceneries from country life in New England in the beginning of 20th century, making use of them to scrutinize complicated social and philosophical matters.
