In his view nature and man are two separate principles, and he constantly emphasizes the differences rather than than the similarity of their life and activity, he does not idealize the rustic and his life, rather he presents him as he is withal his deeper understanding of impulses, jealousies, love and hatreds with all the sordid details of the life he leads his poems of rural life are highly suggestive and symbolic.

Significant of Nature in Man's. life
So many literary writers’ uses Nature is their work. William words worth is one of them. He uses so many natural elements in his poetry. Nature is very important figure in human’s life. It helps us many ways. For examples:-Trees, water, seasons… that all are natural things and because of them we easily survive.
Nature is everything that was not made by man.
(contradictory nature)
(Contradiction of nature)
Nature is permanent, human being cannot change nature. Ward nature has very broad meaning. It changes automatically and it changes every day. In the works of art, nature generally functions as background of place and time, obviously literature has considered as important things in environment. So Nature is important in human’s life and interesting subject of literary writer’s also.
Robert Frost considered nature to be an outsider drive fit for crushing man, yet he additionally observed man's battle with nature as a chivalrous fight. As told in his lyric "Our Hold on the Planet", there is much in nature against us. In any case, we overlook: Take nature out and out since time started, including human instinct, in peace and war, And it must be somewhat more for man, Say a small amount of one percent at any rate, Or our number living wouldn't be relentlessly more, Our hang on the planet wouldn't have so expanded. Nature is particular and free from man. Man "keeps the universe alone," despite the fact that he may get out for "counter love," he won't discover it. Despite the fact that he adored normal magnificence, Frost perceived the cruel realities of the regular world.
Major Theme of Frost’s poetry:
1)Nature:
Nature is first and most important characteristic of Frost’s poem. Frost places a great deal of importance on Nature in all of his collections. Because of the time he spent in New England, the majority of pastoral scenes that he describes are inspired by specific locations in New England. However, Frost does not limit himself to stereotypical pastoral themes such as sheep and shepherds. Instead, he focuses on the dramatic struggles that occur within the natural world, such as the conflict of the changing of seasons (as in "After Apple-Picking") and the destructive side of nature (as in "Once by the Pacific"). Frost also presents the natural world as one that inspires deep metaphysical thought in the individuals who are exposed to it (as in "Birches" and "The Sound of Trees"). For Frost, Nature is not simply a background for poetry, but rather a central character in his works.
There is always a person first.....
Robert Frost
He observes Natural beauty minutely. According to Isiodor Human psychology is always central in his poem. Rural scene & landscape, homely farmer and natural world are used to illustrate psychological struggle with every day experience of human being. Frost use nature as a background of his poem.
His poems begin with observation of nature and then move towards connection of human situation. Nature doe not idealize that is the work man so may be a man first. Nature is separate and independent from men.
A person has to maintain harmony with nature. We should follow ways of nature. Nature has ability to destroy but frost saw struggle of men with nature as heroic battle. For example ‘our hold on the planet’. Frost recognized harsh realities of nature. He accepts fact. We have evidence that he observes man’s existence in the natural world that he observe Schneider
“is to me the most wonderful thing in his poetry. A snowfall, a bending tree, spring, a valley mist, a brook these are brought in the experience of the reader”
Robert Frost......
Frost considered as a countryside poet. All his poems are abound in lovely picture, and the readers find himself in delightful woods valleys and woods hills where he can here the blue joys screech and the whimper of hawk inside the sun; he come upon the purple- stream wild rosberry ,the sudden posture lane of late fall and the abandoned celler holes gradually being reclaiming by nature.
The picture of natural beauty gives symbolism through which reader can interpret. Here are some of the examples of his poem in which we find perfect picture of nature.
Pastoral element:
Frost has spent time in New England. So most of the scenes are inspired from specific location in new England. He does not present stereotypical pastoral themes like sheep and shepherd and all. But he focuses on the dramatic struggles that occur within the nature world as one that inspires deep metaphysical thought in the individuals who are exposed to it. Frost use Nature as central character of the poetry rather than background of the poem. Examples From frost’s poem.
Nature is Teacher....
A person has to depend upon nature to survive in this world. Robert frost tries synthesizes the human and the nature through language, imagination and metaphor. Frost presents something familiar with us but yet he also presents something familiar with us but yet he also presents complexity and contrast as well as.
Conclusion
By concluding we can say that he is an excellent observer of Nature. Frost’s poem reflects deep appreciation of natural world. So we can easily follow deeper meaning without any objection. Frost recognized the boundaries of man and nature. His poetry is an evidence of man’s relation with nature.
Thank you.......
