Dust of Snow Text Book Question Answer
Summary of the poet: ( āĻāĻŦিāϤাāĻোā§° āĻŽূāϞāĻাā§ą)ঃ
Dust of Snow
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 ( āĻāĻŦিāϤাāĻোā§° āĻŦিāώā§ে 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§° āĻি? āĻি āĻāĻĨাāĻ āĻāĻŦিā§° āĻŽāύ⧰ āϧাā§°āĻŖা āϏāϞāύি āĻā§°ি āĻĻিāĻিāϞ? āĻāĻŦিā§° āĻŽāύāĻো āĻিāĻĻā§°ে āϏāϞāύি āĻšৈāĻিāϞ? )
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?
( āĻāĻŦিā§ে āĻāĻ āĻāĻŦিāϤাāĻোāϤ āĻĒ্ā§°āĻৃāϤিāĻ āĻিāĻĻā§°ে āĻāĻĒāϏ্āĻĨাāĻĒāύ āĻā§°িāĻে? āϤāϞ⧰ āĻĒ্ā§°āĻļ্āύāϏāĻŽূāĻšে āϤোāĻŽাāĻ āĻāĻ āĻŦিāώā§ে āĻāĻŦাāϤ āϏāĻšাā§ āĻā§°ি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?
( āϏāĻā§°াāĻā§° āĻāĻŦিāϤা āĻāĻাāϤ āĻোāύোāϧ⧰āĻŖā§° āĻā§°াāĻā§° āύাāĻŽ āĻāϞ্āϞেāĻ āĻĨাāĻে? āĻাāĻā§°ীā§° āĻŦ্āĻ¯ā§ąāĻšাā§° āĻāύ āĻāĻŦিāϤাāϤ āĻĻেāĻা āĻĒাāĻāĻাāύে? )
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.

(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 āĻāĻāĻোāĻĒা āĻি āĻšā§? āĻāĻŦিā§ে āĻāύ āĻোāύো āϏুāύ্āĻĻā§° āĻāĻā§° āύাāĻŽ āĻāϞ্āϞেāĻ āύāĻā§°ি āĻিā§ āĻāĻāĻোāĻĒা āĻāĻā§° āύাāĻŽ āĻŦ্āĻ¯ā§ąāĻšাā§° āĻā§°িāĻে?
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.

(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 ?
( 'āĻাāĻā§°ী' āĻā§°ু āĻšেāĻŽāϞোāĻ' āĻāĻāĻোāĻĒাāĻ āĻি āϏূāĻাāĻāĻে - āϏূāĻ āύে āĻĻূāĻ? āĻাāĻā§°ীāĻোā§ąে āĻেāύে āϧ⧰āĻŖে āĻŦā§°āĻĢā§° āĻāĻŖা āϏ⧰াāĻāĻিāϞ āĻāĻāĻোāĻĒাā§° 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.
