Thinking Activity: Bob Dylan and Robert Frost

 Hello Friends!

This Blog-post is a response to the thinking activity on Bob Dylan and Robert Frost,given by our professor Vaidehi Hariyani Ma'am. 

About Bob Dylan:-


Bob Dylan, original name Robert Allen Zimmerman, American folk singer who moved from folk to rock music in the 1960s, infusing the lyrics of rock and roll, therefore concerned mostly with boy-girl romantic innuendo, with the intellectualism of classic literature and poetry. Hailed as the Shakespeare of his generation, Dylan sold tens of millions of albums, wrote more than 500 songs recorded by more than 2,000 artists, performed all over the world, and set the standard for lyric writing. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2016.

In April 1963 Dylan played his first major New York City concert, at Town Hall. In May, when he was forbidden to perform “Talkin’ John Birch Paranoid Blues” on Ed Sullivan’s popular television program, he literally walked out on a golden opportunity. That summer, championed by folk music’s doyenne, Joan Baez, Dylan made his first appearance at the Newport Folk Festival and was virtually crowned the king of folk music. The prophetic title song of his next album, The Times They Are A-Changin’ (1964), provided an instant anthem.

His songs are :-

Blowin' in the wind

Like A Rolling Stone

All Along the Watchtower

About Robert Frost :-


Robert Frost was born in San Francisco, but his family moved to Lawrence, Massachusetts, in 1884 following his father’s death. The move was actually a return, for Frost’s ancestors were originally New Englanders, and Frost became famous for his poetry’s engagement with New England locales, identities, and themes. Frost graduated from Lawrence High School, in 1892, as class poet , and two years later, the New York Independent accepted his poem entitled “My Butterfly,” launching his status as a professional poet with a check for $15.00. Frost's first book was published around the age of 40, but he would go on to win a record four Pulitzer Prizes and become the most famous poet of his time, before his death at the age of 88.

His poem's are :-

Stopping by woods on a snowy Evening

The Road Not Taken

2. Which Poem/Song of Bob Dylan/Robert Frost is relatable with your Video. Why?

                              Nothing Gold Can Stay

                          Nature’s first green is gold,

                          Her hardest hue to hold.

                          Her early leaf’s a flower;

                          But only so an hour.

                          Then leaf subsides to leaf.

                          So Eden sank to grief,

                          So dawn goes down to day.

                          Nothing gold can stay.

                                    -Robert Frost

Nothing Gold Can Say by Robert Frost has a deeper meaning of life. In early spring, the fresh buds on the trees are gold. This colour is the quickest to disappear from the natural world, however. The fresh blossoms on the trees are flowers, but these flowers disappear quickly too. They turn into leaves that fall to the ground, just as humankind fell from the paradise of the Garden of Eden, and just as the promising early light of morning gives way to daytime. Nothing beautiful, fresh, or pure can last forever.

 So in my video shoot the community of cow and set of birds spend their life with nature.
