The document summarizes two poems: "Languages" by Carl Sandburg and "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost. Sandburg's poem describes how languages change over time like rivers, spreading across borders and eventually fading away. Frost's poem contrasts the peacefulness of nature with the obligations of daily life. Both poems were likely influenced by immigration trends and industrialization in the early 20th century, which increased the pace and demands of modern life.

Poetry is a literary medium which often resonates with the responder on a personal level, through the subject matter of the poem; the techniques are used to portray this study. Robert Frost utilizes many techniques to convey his respect for nature, which consequently makes much of his poetry relevant to the everyday person. His poetry deals with ordinary people, including farmers and workers of his age. Because of his unfeigned interest in and love for rural people, Frost emerged ultimately as a national bard and a poetic sage of America. On the surface, “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” focuses on a seemingly unimportant event of the poet stopping one winter evening, mesmerized by the snow and the wood. However, at a figurative level, the poem goes deeper connecting with the people’s everyday life. The poet portrays the universal images that every man thinks about his life what he has done on earth, or through the ordinary situations. A village farmer couple is the protagonist of the poem through whom the psychology of common people are impacted on his writings. The dilemma of a simple stranger shows the psychological conflicts of the contemporary age as reflected in “The Road Not Taken.” In the poem, “Mending Wall,” the difference of opinion of two neighbors can be interpreted at national or international level. Thus this paper examines very familiar issues of the common people of the poet’s age.

" We are citizens of two fair cities," said the Genoese gentleman to a
Florentine artist, " and if I were not a Genoese, I should wish to be
Florentine." "And I," replied the artist, " if I were not Florentine "
– " You would wish to be Genoese," said the other. " No," re-plied the
artist, " I should wish to be Florentine."
THE rocky nook with hill-tops three
Looked eastward from the farms,
And twice each day the flowing sea
Took Boston in its arms.
The sea returning day by day
Restores the world-wide mart ;
So let each dweller on the Bay
Fold Boston in his heart.
Let the blood of her hundred thousands
Throb in each manly vein,
And the wits of all her wisest
Make sunshine in her brain.
And each shall care for other,
And each to each shall bend,
To the poor a noble brother,
To the good an equal friend.
A. blessing through the ages thus
Shield all thy roofs and towers !
GOD WITH THE FATHERS, SO WITH US,
Thou darling town of ours !

THE old physiologists said, " There is in the air a hidden food of
life; " and they watched the effect of different climates. They
believed the air of mountains and the seashore a potent predisposer to
rebellion. The air was a good republican, and it was remarked that
insulary people are versatile and addicted to change, both in religious
and secular affairs.

The air that we breathe is an exhalation of all the solid material
globe. An aerial fluid streams all day, all night, from every flower
and leaf, from every water and soil, from every rock-ledge; and from
every stratum a different aroma and air ac-cording to its quality.
According to quality and according to temperature, it must have effect
on manners.
There is the climate of the Sahara: a climate where the sunbeams are
vertical; where is day after day, sunstroke after sunstroke, with a
frosty shadow between. " There are countries," said
Howell, "where the heaven is a fiery furnace, or a blowing bellows, or
a dropping sponge, most parts of the year." Such is the assimilating
force of the Indian climate, that, Sir Erskine Perry says, " the usage
and opinion of the Hindoos so invades men of all castes and colors who
deal with them that all take a Hindoo tint. Parsee, Mongol, Afghan,
Israelite, Christian, have all passed under this influence and
exchanged a good part of their patrimony of ideas for the notions,
manner of seeing, and habitual tone of Indian society." He compares it
to the geologic phenomenon which the black soil of the Dhakkan offers,
– the property, namely, of assimilating to itself every foreign
sub-stance introduced into its bosom.
How can we not believe in influences of climate and air, when, as true
philosophers, we must believe that chemical atoms also have their
spiritual cause why they are thus and not other ; that car-bon, oxygen,
alum and iron, each has its origin in spiritual nature ...

2. There are no handles upon a
language
Whereby men take hold of it
And mark it with signs for its
remembrance.
It is a river, this language,
Once in a thousand years
Breaking a new course
Changing its way to the ocean.
It is mountain effluvia
Moving to valleys
And from nation to nation
Crossing borders and mixing.
Languages die like rivers.
Words wrapped round your
tongue today
And broken to shape of thought
Between your teeth and lips
speaking
Now and today
Shall be faded hieroglyphics
Ten thousand years from now.
Sing—and singing—remember
Your song dies and changes
And is not here to-morrow
Any more than the wind
Blowing ten thousand years ago.
3. The poem, “Languages,” by Carl Sandburg
describes the tendency of language and culture
to change over time. Sandburg illustrates the
changing nature of a language by comparing it to
a river, which occasionally alters its course. As
expressed by the poem, Languages also spread
from place to place due to travel and immigration
by “crossing boarders and mixing.” Finally,
Sandburg mentions how “languages die like
rivers,” referring ancient languages that are no
longer commonly spoken. The poem illustrates
how language and culture gradually change.
4. “Languages,” published in 1916, was likely influenced by the
massive immigration wave that occurred during this time period.
From 1880 to 1920, twenty million people immigrated to the
United States. The immigrants mainly originated from Central,
Eastern, and Southern Europe including four million Italians and
two million Jews. Carl Sandburg likely gained insight about culture
and language for his poem from this immigration. Particularly, he
observed how foreign culture and language mix with American
culture and language. While immigrants had to adapt to their new
country, they also retained their languages, religion, and culture,
which greatly influenced American life as well. Carl Sandburg
noticed how immigration can cause distant cultures to blend. Carl
Sandburg likely took inspiration from the immigration wave for his
poem, “Languages.”
5. Stopping by Woods on a Snowy
Evening
Whose woods these are I think I
know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with
snow.
My little horse must think it
queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen
lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark, and
deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
6. The poem, “Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy
Evening,” by Robert Frost illustrates a contrast between the
peace of nature and the busyness of life. He describes
taking a break from his daily life and observes the snowfall
in the woods. Frost clearly views the snowfall as a pleasant
experience, for he mentions that the wind is “easy,” and the
flakes are “downy.” Frost then recalls his obligations in life
by stating that he has “promises to keep” and “miles to go”
before he sleeps. He is referring to the duties that he must
fulfill in life and realizes that he must venture back into the
civilized world. “Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy
Evening” contrasts the pleasantness of nature with the
obligations of daily life.
7. In his 1923 poem, “Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening,”
Robert Frost contrasts the peacefulness of nature with the obligations of
daily life. Frost was likely inspired by certain events during this time
period that made life much more demanding, hectic, and fast-paced. In
the late 19th century and early 20th century, industries grew extremely
quickly. Numerous companies consolidated into big corporations. Large
factories replaced workshops, so laborers often worked in these factories
instead of in small, independent businesses or farms. Improving
machinery and technology lead to efficient factory production. This surge
in industry resulted in urban growth. There were three American cities
with over one million inhabitants in 1900, and the total urban population
expanded to forty-two million in 1910. Numerous events led to a more
demanding, hectic, and fast-paced life and may have inspired the poem,
“Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost.
