Question

In "Nothing Gold Can Stay," why does Robert Frost allude to Eden?

Answer 1

"Eden" is a place in the bible where Adam and Eve lived, it was a place of perfection and beauty that was soon taken away from them

Answer 2

"Eden" would be the gold, and "nothing gold can stay" it not staying would be a reference to Eden being taken away

Answer 3

what i got out of it was just, as we get older we stop dreaming, we stop being as imaginative as we are as children. We lose that spark as we grow up. Nothing gold can stay... anyways that was my input....
