American poet, one of the finest of rural New England's 20th century pastoral (田园的) poets, Frost was awardedW1 the Pulitzer Prize four times.
课后课时作业
75
Robert Frost was born in San Francisco in 1874.He moved to New England at the age of eleven and became interested inP reading and writing poetry during his high school years in Lawrence, Massachusetts. He was admittedW2 at Dartmouth College in 1892, and later at Harvard, though he never earned a formal degree.
In 1894 the New York Independent published Frost's poem My Butterfly, earning him $15. He had also five poems privately printed. While working as a teacher, Frost continued to write and publish his poems in magazines.
课后课时作业
76
In 1912 Frost sold the Derry farm and took his wife and four young children to England. There he published his first collection of poems, A Boy's Will, at the age of 39.It was followed by North of Boston (1914), which gained international reputationW3.The collection contains some of Frost's bestknown poems.
Frost's poems show deep appreciation of natural world and sensibility about the human desires. His images, woods, stars and houses are usually taken from everyday life. With his downtoearth (实际的) approachW4 to his subjects, readers found it is easy to follow the poet into deeper truths. Often Frost used the rhythms and vocabulary of ordinary speech or even the free dialogue.
课后课时作业
77
At the time of his death on January 29, 1963, Frost was considered a kind of unofficial poet of the US. Frost described the fields and farms of his surroundings, observing the details of rural life, which hide universal meaning. Although Frost's works were generally praised, the lack of seriousness concerning social and economic problems of the 1930s, and his hatred toward the policies of the New Deal annoyed some more critics.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国田园诗人Robert Frost (罗伯特·弗罗斯特)的人生经历和他在诗歌方面的主要成就。
