Acquainted with the Night by Robert Frost.
"I have walked out in rain -- and back in rain.(Line 2)"
I particularly enjoy poetry from Robert Frost for a couple of reasons. Firstly, his poem is incredibly symbolic which leaves much up to interpretation. I enjoy being able to speculate what the author is trying to convey to the reader. This poem certainly does not disappoint. The incredible ambiguity that Frost integrates into his particularly specific images and symbolism is what makes his poetry especially interesting to read.
Secondly, the symbolism itself is fantastic at creating an environment which can leave the reader wondering exactly what Frost was trying to say. While this poem leaves some symbols pretty straightforward, some have multiple or questionable meanings. While it is clear that the poem is trying to convey that the speaker has experienced some sadness or loneliness that he has since overcome or has repeatedly experienced and has been capable of overcoming the sadness.
