"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.
