The poem "Design " written by Robert Frost.
" Design " is a very impressive sonnet. It is about an spider, a flower and a Moth. Frost changing the meaning of Design.
- Symbol as a Whiteness
The poem begins with a simple setup -the first three lines introduce us to the main character. We have a big white spider on a white flower and white cloth poised to eat a white moth, the symbol of whiteness and darkness.
Frost concludes that if it were "Design " that brought these three together. It must be some pretty dark design. In other words, it's not a comforting thought to think that god went out of his way just to make sure this moth got eaten. But that's the crucial "if" of the last line " if design does govern these small things.
Thank you....
