"You may have read or at least heard of the famous poem, 'Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.' Composed by the 20th century American writer, Robert Frost, the poem became a classic example of a work that uses a simple story to convey a deeper meaning. . . .
"Over the years, literary critics and teachers have analyzed the poem to search for the symbolism and message found in the text. Many writers have commented on the image of the traveler representing the human journey through life and the struggle between our sense of desire and duty. The snow and silence of the woods can signify purity and heaven, while the village recalls society and civilization."
In a recent commentary, Father Jack Kolodziej, OSFS, reflected on a recent experience that brought the poem to mind and emphasized the beauty of stillness.
