    Dust of Snow

    Answer
    Page No: 14
    Answer1: A “dust of snow” means the fine particles of snow. This “dust of snow” changed the poet’s
    mood. The poet’s mood changed from that of dismay to joy. He was holding the day in regret when
    this dust of snow fell on him and this simple little thing brought him some joy.

    Answer2: Frost has presented nature in quite an unconventional manner. While in other nature
    poems we come across birds such as nightingales or sparrows, Frost has used a crow in this poem. A
    crow can be associated with something dark, black, and foreboding. That is why other poets usually
    mention singing nightingales or beautiful white doves in their poems.

    Also, the poet has written about a hemlock tree, which is a poisonous tree. He has not written about
    a more beautiful tree such as a maple, or oak, or pine because these trees symbolise beauty and
    happiness. Frost wanted to symbolise the feelings of sadness and regret, which is why he has used a
    hemlock tree.

    The crow and the hemlock tree represent sorrow. The dust of snow that is shaken off the hemlock
    tree by the crow stands for joy that Frost experiences. He has, therefore, used an unconventional
    tree and bird in order to contrast them with joy in the form of snow.
