Sexual Overtones in Birches,
This review is from: Birches (Kindle Edition)
It's interesting that a seemingly simple poem about climbing birch trees should have so many interpretations. The following lines are often described as containing distinct sexual imagery. I had my doubts about this at first, but I suspect Frost might have been toying a bit with Freud here because there are definitely overt sexual overtones:
One by one he subdued his father's trees By riding them down over and over again Until he took the stiffness out of them, And not one but hung limp, not one was left For him to conquer. |
