Question

Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonder If I could put a notion in his head: "Why do they make good neighbours? Isn't it Where there are cows? But here there are no cows. Before I built a wall I'd ask to know What I was walling in or walling out, And to whom I was like to give offence. Something there is that doesn't love a wall, That wants it down." Now read "The Pasture," also by Robert Frost. I’m going out to clean the pasture spring; I’ll only stop to rake the leaves away (And wait to watch the water clear, I may): I shan’t be gone long.—You come too. I’m going out to fetch the little calf That’s standing by the mother. It’s so young, It totters when she licks it with her tongue. I shan’t be gone long.—You come too. Which best accounts for the different views of spring expressed in the poems?

Answer 1

Answer:

The poems have different speakers.

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

• Frost’s opinions changed through time.
• The poems have different speakers.
• Frost’s speakers represent his own views.
• The poems were written at different locations.

In this question, we see two different poems written by the same author, Robert Frost. In the first poem, Frost talks about the building of a wall, and how this is perceived not only by the person building the wall, but by others. In the second case, Frost talks about a calf, and how this symbolizes the beginning of the spring. The views that are expressed about spring are different because the speakers in the poem are different as well. Therefore, they each focus on different elements of spring.
