Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: The poem Dust of Snow is written by Robert Frost. In this poem, the hemlock tree is considered inauspicious as it is poisonous and toxic. The crow has also been used by the poet as a symbol of inauspicious things because it is fearsome and survives on eating bad things and is scary.
Detailed explanation-2: -The poet uses “negative” symbols such as the crow and hemlock tree to convey the idea that we can find joy even in seemingly dark things. How we interpret things around us, depends entirely on us. Even something “negative” can be looked at in a positive light and be used to being joy and hope. Was this answer helpful?
Detailed explanation-3: -A hemlock tree is a tree known to be associated with something negative and poisonous. The poet does not write about a more ‘beautiful’ tree because he probably wanted to suggest that something considered inauspicious doesn’t necessarily mean something bad.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hemlock tree is a coniferous tree. It signifies the poison and toxicity.
Detailed explanation-5: -Answer: Normally, people thought both crow and hemlock tree are auspicious. But when the dust of snow from hemlock tree fell on poet, he took it in other way. He was depressed and sorrowful but the moment the crow shook the hemlock tree and dust of snow fell on him, he felt unburdened and relieved.
