Symbols are naturally words which are not merely connotative, but also evocative and emotive. In addition to their meaning, they also call up or evoke before the mind’s eye a host of associations connected with them, and are also rich in emotional significance. For example, the word ‘lily’ merely connotes a ‘flower’ but it also evokes images of beauty and innocence. It also carries with it the emotional overtone of pity resulting from suffering or oppression. In this way, through symbols a writer can express much more than by the use of ordinary words; symbols make the language rich and expressive. Concepts which by their very nature are inexpressible can be conveyed in this way. Thus, a symbol can be used to convey, “pure sensation’, or the poet’s apprehension of transcendental mystery. Frost poetry is easy and simple, but this apparent simplicity of his poetry is deceptive and misleading. In reality, he is a very complex and intricate poet, and this complexity arises from his extensive use of symbols.
