Robert Frost was an American poet, born on March 26, 1874, in San Francisco, California.
Frost received the Pulitzer Prize four times and was renowned for his vivid depictions of rural life and the lives of common people in New England.
He passed away on January 29, 1963, in Boston, Massachusetts.
The poem captures the tension between the allure of nature and the pressing obligations of life.
It is often compared with William Wordsworth’s "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" (commonly known as "Daffodils") for its thematic elements.
"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" was part of Frost’s collection "New Hampshire," which was published in 1923 and won him his first Pulitzer Prize.
The poem describes a traveller pausing in a snowy wood while riding a horse-drawn carriage, reflecting on both the beauty of nature and the responsibilities that lie ahead.
