위즈워어드와 프로스트 시의 자연 이미지 비교 = Nature Image in W. Wordsworth and R. Frost

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

W. Wordsworth and R. Frost have points both similar and unsimilar in how they treat nature. The rural world is not only the area in which Frost finds his most congenial subjects; it provides the framework in terms of which he can most effectively picture reality. While Wordsworth begins with a natural object and uses it for a mystical experience, Frost focuses on the human observer.
Wordsworth expressed an intense identification with natural forces, but Frost saw the barrier separating man and nature, and his concerns are always with the truth of nature. So they are each different in depicting nature. In other words, in depicting nature, Frost is different from Wordsworth in their identification with natural forces.
Both Frost’s subject and his methods derive from his conviction that poetry is not a social philosophy but a unique discipline with its own theme and language. Thus, nature in Frost's poetry is used as a background to supplement the human foreground, that is as a metaphor of human reality.
Frost's chief interest lies in the pursuit of the reality of human existence and in the exploration of the possibility for us to live both with and against flux and to survive to continue our existence on the Earth. His rural landscape provides him with the setting and personae to fulfill his commitment to this poetic theme.
