Robert Frost
Frost's usage of language in this poem is very basic in a sense. He doesn't use many words that require much obscure English lore. The poem is simply about the speaker, who is someone on a horse riding through a forest, and the speaker stopping to listen to the wind and snow. However, the words do bring forth a familiarity with the reader, which creates a sense of casualness. This casualness makes the speaker seem to be speaking to a close friend, when he is actually speaking to no one in particular. Frost uses this tone to create a interesting tone that makes the words seem to carry much more weight than they would normally. The casualness gives a feeling of peace and weight to each word that makes them feel unique and more important. This helps add to the poem's common use for today, as the words are easy to understand and the mood created makes the words seem more familiar with people than other poems tend to do.
