We often take for granted the beautiful magic nature is capable of. We seem to never take the time to appreciate the wonderful creations nature provides for our enjoyment. Most of us enjoy the aftermath of the storm, but never the storm itself. We simply don't give the storm enough credit, because without the snow storm, there will be no snow. In "The Snow-Storm" by Ralph Waldo-Emerson, Waldo-Emerson explains how creative and beautiful mother nature is, and she creates such amazing architecture in such little time. It created structures that humans simply can not. In the beginning of the first stanza, Waldo-Emerson writes "Announced by all the trumpets of the sky" which implies that this is a very important event. It seems as if the trumpets are welcoming the snow as it falls to the earth's ground. This is not a storm to be taken lightly, it holds much power and Waldo-Emerson shows that when he writes "The sled and traveler stopped, the courier's feet Delayed, all friends shut out, the housemates sit Around the radiant fireplace, enclosed in a tumultuous privacy of storm" in this quote the reader can interpret that the storm has halted travelers and has brought houses to stay indoors and gather around the fire. These actions show just how much power the storm has. Waldo-Emerson gives the storm a sense of artistic ability. "Come see the north wind's masonry" Emerson writes as if "the north wind" is a real person who may be the next Picasso. In the last few lines it seems as if Emerson is impressed at how quickly the "mad wind" could create such "frolic architecture". Emerson writes with a sense of awe in this poem, he seems to write with such compassion towards mother natures abilities that it creates an "awe" affect on the reader. The structure of this poem is not very complex, its a very simple poem that has no rhyme or rhythm, but I feel that this was done on purpose, as Emerson felt so strongly towards mother natures abilities to create such a beautiful masterpiece that he didn't want to take that away by adding a complex structure. He would rather write in a simple form and let the reader fully understand what he's preaching, than be complex and blur the message. The use of metaphors and personification help give the allusion that the storm is actually building, sculpting, and decorating all that it graces with its touch.
