Analysis and comments on The Tuft of Flowers by Robert Frost

Comment 6 of 6, added on December 5th, 2009 at 8:24 AM.
The Tuft of Flower; When Culture meet Nature

In my opinion, the poem make us think, "Do we do things alone? Is there no
relationship with others?"

The narrator in this poem is like to tell a story about
butterfly,flower(both represent nature), the first man with mower and the
second man who think about the question (represent culture).
In the end, the second man realize that we are not doing/working alone but
we re intertwined to each other although apart (that is the question's
answer). The second man got that answer after saw the butterfly that find a
flower (which is left by the first man with mower for the sake of beauty).

In short, this is a beautiful poem.

I like Frost poems. They tell stories unwritten yet recorded on the very
fabric of nature. You pause and wonder who has been here? Who has yet to
come? Will they know I was here? As I stop and appreciate the moment, I
acknowledge that I am a part of this and my footprints remain - visible
only to those versed in the sublime.

To me this poem is about knowing that you are not alone. this tuft of
flowers brings these two men together even though they have never met.

I think this poem is about realising that there's more to life than we
think but we have to search for it and some things we can only gain by
working together although you may seem very far apart.
