A BOUNDLESS MOMENT
Robert Frost
" He halted in the wind, and - what was that
far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost?
He stood there, bringing March against his thought,
And yet too ready to believe the most
"Oh that's the paradise-in bloom", I said;
And truly it was fair enough for flowers
had we but in us to assume in March
Such white luxuriance of May for ours.
We stood a moment so in a strange world,
Myself as one his own pretense deceives;
And then I said the truth (and we moved on).
young beech clinging to its last year's leaves.

a) Comment on the opening of the poem:
The opening lines of the poem introduce a scene where the speaker and another person are observing something in the wind. The description “He halted in the wind, and - what was that / far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost?” creates an atmosphere of curiosity and a sense of mystery. The use of “far” and “pale” evokes a sense of distance and ambiguity. The speaker’s immediate reaction to the sight is both intrigued and contemplative, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of perception and reality.
b) Explain: 'We stood a moment so in a strange world’:
