Miles to Go

From his beloved poem Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.

Like many, we first read this poem in grade school, and there's something magical and nostalgic about it. Frost is known for his use of simple language to explore complex social, philosophical, and natural subjects. 

The final line "and miles to go before I sleep" is repeated twice at the end of the poem. The repetition implies a double meaning, both a literal and metaphorical journey to be taken. We wanted to capture both in our artwork.

Deer

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening is deceptively simple thanks to the monosyllabic introduction and elemental nature of the prose. Throughout the poem Frost develops tension between society (the village) and nature (the woods), one representing social commitments and public expectations, the other tranquility and private will.

For the narrator of the poem, there’s a mystical allure to the woods that interrupts his journey and seduces him into a state of contemplation. “The woods are lovely, dark and deep” is that final indulgence in the lucid dreamlike state before he capitulates to his promises and social obligations. 

In our illustration a deer hides in plain sight, surveying the snowy landscape, his antlers merging with the tall orderly trees.

Gold

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Most of us first read this deceptively simple poem in grade school, but some of us were first introduced to it by C. Thomas Howell as greaser-poet Pony Boy in the filmThe Outsiders. So it was with me. And when it was later assigned in school, my eyes lit up with recognition. There are worse ways to discover poetry. 

In this illustration, a waxing and waning moon (or sun) provides sustenance to a waxing and waning family of birds and the tree in which they make their home.
