NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY by ROBERT FROST

Let's get to know Robert Frost:

Robert Lee Frost (March 26, 1874 – January 29, 1963) - was an American poet. He is highly regarded for his realistic depictions of rural life and his command of American colloquial speech. He is one of the most honored and critically acclaimed poets and even won a Pulitzer Prize for poetry. In his poems Frost explores the themes of existence and general emotions of human beings such as: love or loneliness. The surroundings of his poems is usually the rural life of New England. If you remember his previous poem that influences the name for George R.R. Martin books, this weeks poem was also featured in a number of television shows like: Mentalist. And a very cool fact is that the two last lines of this poem is recited by Hazel Grace in the John Green's book: The Fault in our Stars.

Nothing Gold Can Stay

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower; 
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day
Nothing gold can stay.

I think this poem is so sad yet so true!. I mean when you thin about it, everything that we think is gold, everything we love, hold dear eventually ends. It's such a sad thought yet this is the way our lives goes. Everything eventually comes to an end!
