A Patch Of Old Snow Comments

Rating: 3.1

There's a patch of old snow in a corner
That I should have guessed
Was a blow-away paper the rain
Had brought to rest.

Yes, what is news for today that has no perpetual value as the time moves on so the poet has forgotten its significance how a piece of snow retreats...wont it pass to nothingness: It is speckled with grime as if small print overspread it...there lies the point of speculation.

anytime I read this poem, the last lines of the beautiful 'Dust of Snow' come to my memory: '' And saved some part / Of a day I had rued. '' This is the full text: The way a crow Shook down on me The dust of snow From a hemlock tree Has given my heart A change of mood And saved some part Of a day I had rued.

A lovely poem indicative of Frost's ability to connect with others on something so simple and mostly overlooked. Anyone in snow country has at one time or another seen a waning patch of snow lightly peppered with the bouncing grime of a recent rain. But very few put thought to it. The master poet does, and in such a way as to touch the reader's soul in a myriad of different ways and interpretations. A moment to read, simplicity at best, leaves me feeling as though Frost's pen has touched my own soul.

To me this poem is about how we can never fully conceive the world, we live in. To me the news paper is the things that happen around us, but we do not take notice of.

I think the old snow stands for an old regret/sorrow, something that happened long ago. Maybe inconsequential things (rain and wind) reminded him about it. It is covered with grime, showing that it's old and it doesn't matter any more (a trampled memory?) .
