    Stopping by Woods...

    I think this work is about the writer contemplating the weight of human existence at dark and depressing point within his life. The writer is considering the worthiness of continuing on with life, while hoping his thoughts are concealed from God (owner of house).The horse, perhaps pulling the burden of life on a sleigh, protests with the implied notation of,” lets move on, these thoughts of ending our journey are not natural"; the nature of man is to live and survive.

    The writer finally realizes that life is beautiful and mysterious, and he has the comment to live out this gift of life, and not end it by his own hand.
