  I was interested and glad to learn from your video that Frost dismissed the death wish interpretation offhandedly almost as if it were beneath consideration. By now, it seems too easy, a deep, dark secret everyone knows.

  @JCPJCPJCP19 күн бұрын

  As I recall, Frost enjoyed walking in the woods at night, which many or most people might consider an eccentric activity. I, too, have enjoyed it. With almost all light gone, my imagination brightens and helps to light the way. I memorized this poem decades ago, and I still "have" it: I can recite it at any time. I'm aware of the common, most popular, seemingly consensus interpretation of the poem as an expression of a death wish, but I tend to resist that. I see walking in the woods at night as a metaphor for the creative act; for entering the unknown, the darkness, hoping to find something new and beautiful. Your analysis has increased my understanding of and appreciation for what I think might be the first poem I ever read, way, way back in grade school. Thanks for that. I will watch it again. I recommend Professor Jay Parini's biography of Robert Frost. Parini is a veritable fountain of knowledge about the poet.

  That's impressive that you can still recite it years later. I used to memorize poems but generally just remember snippets. Agree that the notion of the death wish is at most in the background. Thanks for the kind words!

  love the video explanations! Anyway you would be able to explain Flaubert's Bouvard and Pecuchet story Barthes touches on in the "Myth as Stolen Language" section of Mythology Today? It feels like hes trying to elucidate on Flaubert introducing new myths through past forms or maybe like the story is a mirror to society? Barthes uses the term "bouvard-and-pecuchet-ity" to describe what Flaubert did with the story; "the rhetoric of Bouvard and Pecuchet becomesthe form of the new system..." What in the world does it mean to be "bouvard-and-pecuchet-ity"?

  Yes, sometimes those personal pronouns can have an impersonal aspect to them. When I redo the video one day I might add a bit about that.

  @@thenatureofwriting9222 If "impersonal pronouns" do not use the grammatical feature "person", why in this example: If you touch a hot stove you will get burnwd, then why did "you" come as the second person pronoun in the sentence? Isn't this contrary to grammar?

  Very interesting and enjoyable analysis of a poem I've known for many years. It would have been helpful to me if the text in your video had been a little larger, easier to read, so I could have followed your comments more closely. I was reminded of Paul Simon's adaptation of the poem, from "The Sound of Silence," the S & G album from the Sixties. And of the poet Dana Gioia's biographical video of E.A. Robinson on his, Gioia's, KZread channel; it's a carefully composed and thorough description of Robinson's life and work. I recommend the video and the channel. Thanks. Will visit you again. Edit: corrections of my mistakes.

  Whoever wrote this book report example is a virtue-signaling racist, and a picture perfect product of the current cesspool of an indoctrinating education system led by the soulless sell-outs that public school teachers have become. Tintin isnt racist because of its portrayal of anyone. It illustrates how people of different cultures live differently everywhere in their own way, and how every race of people has good and bad characters within it. In fact, if Tintin IS racist, its because the BAD GUYS ARE ALWAYS WHITE. You should be ashamed of yourself Nature of Writing.

  The problem with the third (nonsense) statement is that fundamentally a piano isnt a thing that exists. By applying values to the piano one can sensibly say that this thing is more piano like, but to suppose a piano is something that can have other values or attributes applied to it is impossible. It is a thing that is a piano, and a thing can not directly adopt the organic qualities so commonly attributed by humans to other human actions (ex: the piano is thirsty, the paper flew away, the wheel is racing down the street). These are human effectors, a human cause, a human choice to influence the perception of something. Those who study language forget often that they themselves are the ones who invented language. This is just another case of amnesia, the only sensible application of such an idea is as rhetoric or comedy. It simply isn't factual or even probable that a "piano has been drinking heavily" and shouldn't be interpreted as such. What a non-problem. 👏👏👏👏👏 FURTHERMORE "piano" exists at the level of experience and association. I grew up in a house where a TV remote was called a whipper. Having it be a whipper does not make it any less a tv remote, but if I were at a friends house and ask them to pass me the whipper, in their experience governed by their association of what a whipper is, they would be unable to find relative coordinates regarding "whipper", to which they would present confusion or befuddlement. They could be taught this thing is a whipper, and then they could form a rational association between whipper and tv remote, but the expectation of this as intuitive is entirely cultural. So the next time i ask them to pass me the whipper, they can make a decision regarding my request.
