The "Ghost House" by Robert Frost is a poem that evokes a sense of mystery and intrigue. In this poem, Frost uses vivid imagery and metaphors to convey the sense of a haunted house and the feelings of the speaker as they approach it.
The poem begins with the speaker approaching a "ghost house" that is "silent" and "desolate." The use of the word "ghost" immediately sets a eerie tone, suggesting that there is something otherworldly about the house. The use of the word "silent" also adds to the sense of unease, as it suggests that there is no one or nothing alive within the house.
As the speaker continues to approach the house, they describe it as being "still as the moon" and "gray as a dream." These descriptions further enhance the sense of mystery and otherworldliness surrounding the house. The speaker also notes that the house has "a long and lean shape" which gives the impression of a skeletal or haunted appearance.
Despite the eerie atmosphere, the speaker seems drawn to the house and continues to approach it. They describe the house as having "dark windows" which seem to be "watching" the speaker. This adds to the sense of unease and makes the house seem even more menacing.
As the speaker finally reaches the house, they describe it as being "haunted" and "full of sleep." This further reinforces the idea that the house is inhabited by ghosts or other supernatural beings. The use of the word "sleep" also adds to the sense of mystery, as it suggests that something or someone within the house is dormant or inactive.
Overall, Frost's "Ghost House" is a poem that uses vivid imagery and metaphors to evoke a sense of mystery and unease. Through the use of words like "ghost," "silent," and "haunted," Frost paints a picture of a house that is both eerie and intriguing, and leaves the reader wondering what secrets lie within its walls.
Ghost House by Robert Frost
I dwell with a strangely aching heart In that vanished abode there far apart On that disused and forgotten road That has no dust-bath now for the toad. O'er ruined fences the grape-vines shield The woods come back to the mowing field; The orchard tree has grown one copse Of new wood and old where the woodpecker chops; The footpath down to the well is healed. The poem haunts me still,in a subtle way, as it should and was intended. Night comes; the black bats tumble and dart; The whippoorwill is coming to shout And hush and cluck and flutter about: I hear him begin far enough away Full many a time to say his say Before he arrives to say it out. I know not who these mute folk are Who share the unlit place with me— Those stones out under the low-limbed tree Doubtless bear names that the mosses mar.
