Summary of the poet: ( āĻ•āĻŦিāϤাāϟোā§° āĻŽূāϞāĻ­াā§ą)ঃ
               The short poem by Robert Frost throws light upon the unimaginable healing power of nature and tiny things. From a bad mood to ill-health, there is nothing that can't be cured by nature. The author was experiencing one such bad day when a crow's movement near a hemlock tree dusted snow upon him. The snow instantly makes him happier. His day gets a lot better. Thus, the supremacy of nature as a whole made him realise how petty his problem was. The fast that hemlock tree is poisonous combined with crow being the indicator of doom and fear are used in the poem as the carriers of happiness in the narrator's life. The poet, through these objects has tried to highlight that sometimes creatures linked with negative aspects of life can be the bringer of change and happiness. Being outdoor in nature, with all its unpredictability can benefit anyone, anywhere at any time.

Thinking about the poem ( āĻ•āĻŦিāϤাāϟোā§° āĻŦিāώ⧟ে āĻ­াāĻŦা) 

1. What is a "dust of snow"? What does the poet say has changed his mood? How has the poets mood changed? 

( āĻŦā§°āĻĢā§°ে āϧূāϞিāĻŦোā§° āĻ•ি? āĻ•ি āĻ•āĻĨাāχ āĻ•āĻŦিā§° āĻŽāύ⧰ āϧাā§°āĻŖা āϏāϞāύি āϕ⧰ি āĻĻিāĻ›িāϞ? āĻ•āĻŦিā§° āĻŽāύāϟো āĻ•িāĻĻā§°ে āϏāϞāύি āĻšৈāĻ›িāϞ? )

Ans:- A 'dust of snow' is a tiny particles of snow, cause of their small size the poet calls them dust. The poet was in an awful mood when particles of snow had fallen on him. This had changed the poet's frame of mind instantly and his day got a lot better.

2. How does frost present nature in this poem? The following questions may help you to think of an answer?

  ( āĻ•āĻŦি⧟ে āĻāχ āĻ•āĻŦিāϤাāϟোāϤ āĻĒ্ā§°āĻ•ৃāϤিāĻ• āĻ•িāĻĻā§°ে āωāĻĒāϏ্āĻĨাāĻĒāύ āϕ⧰িāĻ›ে? āϤāϞ⧰ āĻĒ্ā§°āĻļ্āύāϏāĻŽূāĻšে āϤোāĻŽাāĻ• āĻāχ āĻŦিāώ⧟ে āĻ­āĻŦাāϤ āϏāĻšা⧟ āϕ⧰িāĻŦ। )

   (i) What are the birds that are usually named in poem? Do you think a crow is often mentioned in poems? What images come to your mind when you think of a crow? 

   ( āϏāϚ⧰াāϚ⧰ āĻ•āĻŦিāϤা āĻāϟাāϤ āĻ•োāύোāϧ⧰āĻŖā§° āϚ⧰াāχ⧰ āύাāĻŽ āωāϞ্āϞেāĻ– āĻĨাāĻ•ে? āĻ•াāω⧰ীā§° āĻŦ্āĻ¯ā§ąāĻšাā§° āφāύ āĻ•āĻŦিāϤাāϤ āĻĻেāĻ–া āĻĒাāχāĻ›াāύে? )

Ans:-  Birds like sparrows, nightingale and peacock are more than often named in poems, Unlike these birds, craws are often seen as the indicators of doom and fear. They are often used for negative references. 

   ( āϏাāϧাā§°āĻŖāϤে āĻ•āĻĒৌ, āĻ•ুāϞি, āĻŽৌā§°া āφāĻĻি āϚ⧰াāχ⧰ āωāϞ্āϞেāĻ– āĻ•āĻŦিāϤাāĻŦিāϞাāĻ•āϤ āĻĒোā§ąা āϝা⧟, āĻ•াāω⧰ী'āĻ• āϏāĻĻা⧟ āĻ…āύ্āϧāĻ•াā§° āĻ…āĻĨāĻ•া āϭ⧟ āφāĻĻিā§° āϞāĻ—āϤ ā§°িāϜোā§ąা āĻšā§Ÿ। āϏেāĻšে⧟ে āĻ‡ā§ŸাāĻ• āĻ‹āύাāϤ্āĻŽāĻ• āĻŦāϏ্āϤুā§° āĻĒ্ā§°āϤীāĻ• āĻšিāϚাāĻĒে āĻŦ্āĻ¯ā§ąāĻšাā§° āϕ⧰া āĻšā§Ÿ। )



(ii) Again, What is " a hemlock tree"? Why does not the poet write about a more "beautiful" tree such as a male, or an oak, or a pine?

  ( āĻšেāĻŽāϞāĻ• āĻ—āĻ›āϜোāĻĒা āĻ•ি āĻšā§Ÿ? āĻ•āĻŦি⧟ে āφāύ āĻ•োāύো āϏুāύ্āĻĻā§° āĻ—āϛ⧰ āύাāĻŽ āωāϞ্āϞেāĻ– āύāϕ⧰ি āĻ•ি⧟ āĻāχāϜোāĻĒা āĻ—āϛ⧰ āύাāĻŽ āĻŦ্āĻ¯ā§ąāĻšাā§° āϕ⧰িāĻ›ে?

Ans:- Trees are also seen as mightly creatures importing wisdom as they're too old. They give out oxygen and absorbing all the negative energy. But there are trees that are poisonous too, like a hemlock tree. The poet does not mention a more 'beautiful' tree such as maple, oak or pine because he wants to indicate a sad  scene. Being poisonous, a hemlock tree is considered bad and so, he refers to it.

   ( āĻ—āĻ›āĻŦোā§°āĻ• āĻ…āϤি āĻļāĻ•্āϤিāĻļাāϞী āφ⧰ু āϜ্āĻžাāύ⧰ āĻĒ্ā§°āϤীāĻ• āĻšিāϚাāĻĒে āĻ­াāĻŦা āϏিāĻšঁāϤ⧰ āĻŦ⧟āϏ⧰ āĻŦাāĻŦে। āĻ—āĻ›ে āĻŽাāύুāĻšāĻ• āĻ…āϏ্āĻ•িāϜেāύ āĻĻি⧟ে āφ⧰ু āφāĻŽাā§° āϚৌāĻĻিāĻļে āĻĨāĻ•া āĻ‹āĻŖাāϤ্āĻŽāĻ• āĻŦাāϤাāĻŦā§°āĻŖāĻ• āύিāϜ⧰ āĻŽাāϜāϤ āĻŦā§°āĻŖ  āϕ⧰ে। āĻ•িāύ্āϤু āϤাā§° āĻŽাāϜāϤে āĻšেāĻŽāϞোāϕ⧰ āĻĻā§°ে āĻŦিāώাāĻ•্āϤ āĻ—āĻ›ো āφāĻ›ে। āϤāĻĨাāĻĒিāĻ“ āĻ•āĻŦি⧟ে āĻĒাāχāύ, āĻŽেāĻĒāϞ āĻ…āĻĨāĻŦা āĻāĻ• āĻ—āϛ⧰ āύাāĻŽ āĻŦ্āĻ¯ā§ąāĻšাā§° āϕ⧰া āύাāχ āĻ•ি⧟āύো āϤেāĻ–েāϤে āĻĻূāĻ–ā§° āĻ›āĻŦি āĻĻাāĻ™ি āϧ⧰িāĻŦ āĻŦিāϚাā§°িāĻ›ে āφ⧰ু āĻšেāĻŽāϞāĻ• āϝিāĻšেāϤু āĻāϜোāĻĒা āĻŦিāώাāĻ•্āϤ āĻ—āĻ› āϏে⧟েāĻšে āϤেāĻ“ঁ āĻ‡ā§ŸাāĻ• āĻŦ্āĻ¯ā§ąāĻšাā§° āϕ⧰িāĻ›ে।



(iii) What do the 'crow' and "hemlock" represent joy or sorrow? What does the dust of snow that the crow shakes off a hemlock tree stand for ?

      ( 'āĻ•াāω⧰ী' āφ⧰ু āĻšেāĻŽāϞোāĻ•' āĻ—āĻ›āϜোāĻĒাāχ āĻ•ি āϏূāϚাāχāĻ›ে - āϏূāĻ– āύে āĻĻূāĻ–? āĻ•াāω⧰ীāϟোā§ąে āĻ•েāύে āϧ⧰āĻŖে āĻŦā§°āĻĢā§° āĻ•āĻŖা āϏ⧰াāχāĻ›িāϞ āĻ—āĻ›āϜোāĻĒাā§° āĻĒā§°া? )

Ans:- Both crow and the hemlock tree represent sorrow. Frost has used both the negative creators as the carries of positivism and  strength that transformed his day of for the better. By not using birds like sparrow and nightingale, trees like maple or aak the poet has tried to break down all the preconceived  nations we have about certain agents of nature. He has tried to make us understand that we see the world not as how it is, but as how we want to see it . Thus, the craw sitting and a hemlock tree together made his day better. The dust of snow stands for joy.

Ans:- There have been innumerable times when I have felt depressed and hopeless, such moment were aroused by other's attitude and behavior and sometimes due to my own conduct. When ever I am upset I go for a walk or try to engage in different activities.
