Robert Frosts works, particularly those of his later life, focused intently upon the management of his feelings about death. Tuft of Flowers, demonstrates a sense of the universal understanding. Tuft of Flowers, is inherently a social expression. Seeking with memories grown dim o’er night / Some resting flower of yesterday’s delight. The theme of continuity and time is found throughout the poem. By placing the time of the poem in the noontime of the day places us in the middle of life as we meet the narrator.
