Summary

This quote by Robert Frost expresses the fleeting and transient nature of beauty and innocence in the natural world. The comparison of "nature's first green" to gold symbolizes the beauty and perfection of youth and the passing of time. It suggests that just like the changing of seasons, everything in life moves from a state of perfection to eventual decay. This insight leads to a deeper reflection on the impermanence of life itself. Ultimately, Frost suggests that the notion of permanence and eternal youth are illusions and that nothing beautiful or golden can last forever.
