Don't Think Twice, It's All Right: song by Bob Dylan To “think twice” about it means that you reconsider, you start thinking that maybe it wasn’t the right thing to do, regret what you did, etc. So Dylan’s saying to this girlfriend: we’ve broken up, I’m leaving, and even though it is to a large degree because of your shortcomings , don’t regret it, it’s all right. I like this song's title , and also the rhythm.
Moreover,The song is said to be a rather devastating breakup song to his then girlfriend Suze Rotolo. He met her in New York and their relationship lasted about two years. It was very tempestuous love affair and Dylan evidently grew tired of the drama. Contrary to the lyrics of the song however, it was actually Rotolo who left him. She traveled to Italy in 1963 , around the time the release of the iconic The Freewheeling Bob Dylan, the album on which Don't Think Twice first appeared. That is her walking arm in arm with the maestro. By the time the world saw this, they were pretty much done as a couple.
Another song by Dylan is "shelter From the storm":
"Shelter from the Storm" is a song by Bob Dylan, recorded on September 17, 1974, and released on his 15th studio album, Blood on the Tracks, in 1975. The first take of the song, from the same recording session that produced the album track, was released on the soundtrack to the 1996 motion picture Jerry Maguire.
I believe this has to be my favourite Bob Dylan song. Because The choice of words, rhythm and imagery are incredible. In some ways, it’s like a modern Shakespeare sonnet.
Even , many songs by Dylan which I have liked but here I have discussed about two of them…
⚫ Poems by Robert Frost:
The Road Not Taken
1874-1963
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
One of my favourite poems by Robert Frost is The Road Not Taken…
"The Road Not Taken" is an ambiguous poem that allows the reader to think about choices in life, whether to go with the mainstream or go it alone. If life is a journey, this poem highlights those times in life when a decision has to be made.
The central message is that, in life, we are often presented with choices. When making a choice, one is required to make a decision. Viewing a choice as a fork in a path, it becomes clear that we must choose one direction or another, but not both.
We can say In other words, Frost's friend regretted not taking the road that might have offered the best opportunities, despite it being an unknown.
Nothing Gold Can Stay
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only for an hour.
Then the leaf subsides to the leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down today.
Nothing gold can stay.
This is the short poem by Frost "Nothing Gold Can Stay" was written in 1923 by the American poet Robert Frost. It was published in a collection called New Hampshire the same year, which would later win the 1924 Pulitzer Prize. Frost is well known for using depictions of rural life to explore wider social and philosophical themes.
"Nothing Gold Can Stay," written when Frost was 48, is no exception, using the metaphor of spring's ending to examine the transience of youth, beauty, and ultimately life itself.
the meaning of this poem is that In early spring, the fresh buds on the trees are gold. This color is the quickest to disappear from the natural world, however. The fresh blossoms on the trees are flowers, but these flowers disappear quickly too. They turn into leaves that fall to the ground, just as humankind fell from the paradise of the Garden of Eden, and just as the promising early light of morning gives way to daytime. Nothing beautiful, fresh, or pure can last forever.
Overall sence of the poem is that the poem argues that nothing pure or perfect can last; life takes its toll on everything, and death awaits us all. The promise of spring is followed by autumn and winter; green leaves will turn brown and begin to rot. Yet the poem may not necessarily be trying to create melancholy. Instead, perhaps it’s pushing the reader to accept the reality of such transience in order to better appreciate golden moments while they last.
Fire And Ice
By Robert Frost
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
"Fire and Ice" is a popular poem by Robert Frost that discusses the end of the world, likening the elemental force of fire with the emotion of desire, and ice with hate. more
In other words I wants to Say that the symbols of “Fire”, “Ice” and “world” also has literal meanings, fire (heat), ice (freezing) and world (earth), now it can also be referred to the geological destruction of the earth, which means that world will end either due to overheating by global warming or due to freezing in ice age.
