Robert Frost (1874－1963) is one of America's most beloved poets. He was a contemporary of many
modernist poetic movements，but he wasn't associated with any particular group of poets. He stuck to his
own literary beliefs，and as a result，he attracted a good deal of criticism from the literary world. But，it
is just because he was such a person and his voice was so original that Frost became so beloved. If you are
to choose one of his poems and read it aloud on a busy street，we are sure that many people will recognize
the poem immediately as Frost's.
Mending Wall，which is the first poem in North of Boston，Frost's second book of poetry，is one
of his most popular poems. It is a poem about two neighbors who fix a rock wall that lies between their
homes. “I” want to destroy the wall，and the “neighbor” wants to leave it standing.
We just can't get enough of walls，can we? People love boundaries. We love them when we're
little，protecting our precious toys from our troublesome brothers and sisters. As we get older，we begin
to throw around the gentle term “personal space”， as in “GET OUT OF MY ROOM！” In college，we
really learn how the idea of “My house is your house” doesn't always result in happy roommate
relationships. After we become adults with good jobs and a lot of cool things，we often put up fences，
gates，walls，or doors to protect our stuff and keep the peace.
Walls help us protect ourselves ， but their downside is that they often keep people from
communicating with each other. Mending Wall makes us take a look at how we use our walls and
boundaries，and why we use them the way we do. This poem sends a wakeup call to the universe. There
are walls between our hearts.

Whitman was one of the most original and inspiring American poets, well known for his art and his
role as a poet. He devoted himself to poetry praising the native American’s experience. As America’s first
epic poem, Leaves of Grass ran nine editions with more than 400 poems all written in free forms, that
is, poetry without a fixed beat or regular rhyme scheme. The tide implies rebirth, renewal, or green life.
As Whitman once said, “Leaves of Grass was the outcropping of my own emotional and other personal
nature—an attempt, from first to last, to put a person, a human being freely, fully and truly on record.
”
For Whitman, science, democracy(民主) and spirituality(灵性) were the three things that underlay
the structure of modern poetry. Whitman tried to combine the world of science, the democracy and the
spiritual feeling of life into his poetry. For Whitman, the poetic form should be free. Therefore, he threw
aside the traditional form and had his own form. Both the form and content of his poems are revolutionary.
With its frequent use of oral language and everyday events, his poem represented a turning point in the
history of American poetry—poetry fashioned out of specially American experience in a clear American
idiom. Whitman’s unique poetic creation has developed a very significant tradition in American poetry.
In his poems, he celebrated new America rather than regretted it. He was against slavery,
idolized(崇拜) Lincoln, supported strikes, and combined the ideal of the common people and that of

For me，two of the loveliest words in English are “life persists”.
I 1 them years ago as a college student，sitting in the library， 2 ， working on a paper.
