This poem by Robert Frost is about the persona separating himself from the outside world through the act of "closing the windows". Be it a literal or metaphoric interpretation, it shows deliberate intention on the part of the persona. Using the various literary devices, this analysis will seek to explain the key issues of this poem.
The poem shows deliberate separation of the persona from the secular world. The persona is aware of the on goings outside his window, but refuses to partake in them. Instead, he chooses separation through the act of "clos[ing] the windows". This phrase is repeated twice in the passage, reflecting on the persona's intention to keep himself away from the outside.
The persona's awareness of his surroundings is blurred in his mind. Although awareness of his surroundings is shown, it reflects a very haphazard scope on his part. He reflects uncertainty about whether or on the "birds [are] singing, and if there is/Be it my loss". The tone of the persona reflects an uncaring and semi-conscious attitude to his surroundings.
OK, I'm done:) Tell me what you think!
