Reluctance

By Robert Frost 1874–1963 Robert Frost

Out through the fields and the woods

   And over the walls I have wended;

I have climbed the hills of view

   And looked at the world, and descended;

I have come by the highway home,

   And lo, it is ended.

 

The leaves are all dead on the ground,

   Save those that the oak is keeping

To ravel them one by one

   And let them go scraping and creeping

Out over the crusted snow,

   When others are sleeping.

 

And the dead leaves lie huddled and still,

   No longer blown hither and thither;

The last lone aster is gone;

   The flowers of the witch hazel wither;

The heart is still aching to seek,

   But the feet question ‘Whither?’

 

Ah, when to the heart of man

   Was it ever less than a treason

To go with the drift of things,

   To yield with a grace to reason,

And bow and accept the end

   Of a love or a season?

My interpretation of this poem by Robert Frost is that he is describing all the things that he has been through in his life in the first stanza. Then near the end of his life, he comes home and sees that season is turning into winter and everything is dying around him. But the person in the story won't accept the change in season without a fight. Just like the seasons, love can go through good and bad times; sometimes they are very bad and it feels like it will die but love of man isn't meant to die without a fight. Robert Frost is saying that you need to fight against dying love instead of going with the wind as it blows hither and whither.

I think that it depends on the relationship on whether or not you should fight for it. If it is marriage, then you should because you made a vow to your spouse and need to respect that. While if it is a relationship in high school or middle school, then you shouldn't make it a big deal unless you really love the other person because it can make it awkward and make even friendship unattainable.
