Robert Frost's poem?

Question

my teacher told me that "Eden" is an allusion and to look it up. what does "Eden" mean or who is he? here is the oem that i'm talking baout called "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.

Answer 3

The Bearer of Evil Tidings The bearer of evil tidings, When he was halfway there, Remembered that evil tidings Were a dangerous thing to bear. So when he came to the parting Where one road led to the throne And one went off to the mountains And into the wild unknown, He took the one to the mountains. He ran through the Vale of Cashmere, He ran through the rhodendrons, Till he came to the land of Pamir. And there in a precipice valley A girl of his age he met Took him home to her bower Or he might be running yet. She taught him the tribe's religion: How, ages and ages since, A princess en route from China To marry a Persian prince Had been found with child; and her army Had come to a troubled halt. And though a god was the father And nobody else was at fault, It had seemed discreet to remain there And neither go on nor go back. So they stayed and declared a village There in the land of the Yak. And the child that came of the princess Established a royal line, And his mandates were given heed to Because he was born divine. And that was why there were people On one Himalayan shelf: And the bearer of evil tidings Decided to stay there himself. At least he had this in common With the race he chose to adopt: They had both of them had their reasons For stopping where they had stopped. As for his evil tidings, Belshazzar's overthrow, Why hurry to tell Belshazzar What soon enough he would know?

Answer 4

Eden is from the Book of Genesis in the bible, it is the land of Adam and Eve, a land where man lived in peace with a woman, and both lived in peace and as part of nature. It was a land without time. Peace, Utopia and all was calm. It was destroyed by greed and desire.

Eden = innocence

yes its a reference to a place that your teacher believes only existed to serve as symbolic part of a story .in particular the garden of eden where everything was perfect. i believe that it becomes an allusion because it is written about in the poem .

Answer 7

Quite simple, really. Puppies, kittens, trees, and people look better in their youth, but it doesn't last long - the flower turns to a leaf like a billion others, the puppy is a dog, and the child grows up into the hard world.

Answer 9

Answer 10
