by: robert frost 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!. thank uWww@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Eden~ allusion to the Garden of Eden in the Bible!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Robert Frost was alluding to a brightness like that of gold's reflective dazzle but that becomes dulled with time!. He uses first a botanical metaphor; and also the colors often in the sky at dawn that quickly fade; and the Biblical paradise of Eden that was lost when Adam and Eve fell from the Creator's good graces!.Www@QuestionHome@Com eden is the allusion!. always remember an allusion is a refrence to another branch of culture religion language ect!. hope this helped out!Www@QuestionHome@Com Allusion means to allude (make reference) to something!.Www@QuestionHome@Com The best things cannot lastWww@QuestionHome@Com |
