Nothing Gold Can Stay V.S I am a Rock

"Nothing Gold Can Stay"  V.S  "I am a Rock"
            Robert Frost is the writer of “Nothing Gold Can Stay”. In this poem, he used the circulation of nature to explain what a life is. “But only so an hour” is a turning point that mentioned what the difference is between past and future. In the previous hours, it might be a perfect life that you wished. But after that, the world might be changed because the time is passing. On the other hand, the writer of “I am a Rock”, P. Simon, tried to tell a different story. He utilized his own to show that far away from friendship can never feel of pain and won’t cry. He firmly believed that friendship and love will bring him pain and sadness, and he was willingly being alone. Also, being a rock and an island that he wanted in the privacy of his thoughts. 
          Yet, they also showed a truth, which is regret. Both of them were feeling so regretful after a long period. Robert Frost tried to say that good things do not last forever by a quote “Nothing gold can stay”. And, Simon felt of painful and sadness as he was living his own world that without friends and loves, and they were the reason for getting pain. In fact, the song and the poem wanted to tell us that we should cherish what we have and own. Otherwise, it will be made us to feel regret as the world is changing every day, and it won’t stop because of us.
