Analysis and comments on Neither Out Far Nor In Deep by Robert Frost

Comment 8 of 8, added on May 17th, 2009 at 4:22 AM.

I think it is meant as critisism of the people who are looking to the sea
for beauty when the land is just as beautiful and we don't really see
everything the way we are supposed to and we have become apathetic and
can't fully appreciate its beauty but that hasn't kept us from staring
blankly at the beauty that we can't see. I might be wrong but thats what i
think about when i read it.

It is not with open eyes that we can see the deepest or the farthest. So
seagulls stare with open eyes?

The line "the wetter ground like glass reflects a standing gull" made me
think of Jesus walking on water. Maybe the people standing on the beach
are waiting for their messiah, or "wherever the truth may be-"

This is a great modern poem! Its short elaborated thoroughly. It is a great
poem for starters and can influence others to be better poets!
