For many lovers, Robert Frost shows how beautiful love can be, for it makes
people change. It shows how many people change for the one they love, not
intentionally, but mentally. Many may think of November to be a season of
dying, not beauty, but have "she" in the narrator's life during Autumn
makes him love it. In line,
They could NOT be talking about the Autumn but about herself, like many
lovers question their partner for their love for them.

I feel the poems relates to his wife. The wording/meanings are
straight-forward but the first line, last verse bugs me. Why does he say
'Not yesterday I learned to know'? Can someone enlighten me? Also 'were'
should be 'was' shouldn't it?! carolineglen.com

the first time i read the poem, all i could think about was what he used to
set a mood. Usually, when an author uses sentences like "faded earth, heavy
sky," it is to set a gloomy mood in which he succeeds. I thought it was
about a woman who was changing his life, and broadening his view of the
world. But then I read it again and again, and i think that the poem really
has to do with him, and only him. He can choose to dislike and begrudge
change, gloominess, and desolation. But he doesnt- he learns to embrace it
and realize that theres something meaningful in every detail. He can't deny
his sorrow, but he doesn't succumb to it, he uses it to change his views on
the world. It can be interpreted many ways though- and i think the way that
people see it is what tells more about them, which i think poets are always
trying to tell their readers.

Fiona Cameron noted two transcription mistakes. There is another, The
next to the last line should read, :|"But it were vain to tell her so," not
"he so". If you are going to post poetry, make certain to quote it
accurately, or don't post it.

I took this poem to mean that you have to fight the urge to give in to the
depression, but after my father read it to me, and i listened to what he
thought. i now believe that the whole message of the poem is that the fact
is that fall is the winding down season. It is the season of less day-light
and little outdoor activities (in general). It can feel quite lonely and
depressing just to look outside, but you have to realize that everyone is
feeling similar to you. Instead of denying that you are depressed and
slowly succumbing to it without realizing and have it become part of you,
you should just realize that it happens every year, stick it out, and it
will be over in a couple months.

I believe that in this poem Frost is speaking of his wife. It was written
after they moved back to the United States from England and after thier son
committed suicied as well as after thier eldest daughter having to be
commited to a hospital for the mentaly insane. Both Frost and his wife had
been through a lot and still they held thier family togeather. Frost
commited many that the most important things to him were his family first
and then his writing. his wife was in his words his inspiration.
