“Acquainted with the Night,” by Robert Frost is a very personal poem, I believe. I can picture Frost walking through a desolate place, observing his surroundings. I related to this poem one hundred percent because I have found myself in the exact same atmosphere. I think the poem can be taken literally because Frost describes his surroundings to a tee, which could make readers relate. Although, I also think the poem should be read figuratively. Possibly Frost is trying to express a feeling of loneliness because he is by himself in the duration of the poem. He is only accompanied by the rain and the watchman, who he does not talk to. I think this poem was written in a time of loneliness and depression in Frost’s life.
