What is Frost's attitude toward Nature Robert Frost is a prominent nature poet of the twentieth century Most of his poems are set in the rural countryside of New England where we see woods fields farms and snow-covered lands But Frost is not only a painter of natural scenes His nature is always connected to human life He uses the countryside to show human emotions and struggles Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening In Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening Frost describes a man who stops beside the woods on a snowy evening The scene is calm beautiful and silent The woods attract him to stay longer It seems that the man wants to take eternal rest there But soon he remembers his duties and responsibilities He realizes that he still has a long way to go in his life before he can take a rest But I
