[1012] Nothing Gold Can Stay
Guest poem submitted by Gopal Shenoy, <Gopal.Shenoy@>:
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
-- Robert Frost

I love this poem. This poem not only applies to nature as can be seen in the
lines, but also to life in general. It describes the ups and downs in life
pretty well.
This poem was used very effectively in the movie 'The Outsiders', based on a
book by S.E. Hinton. If you get a chance, get hold of the song 'Stay Gold'
and its lyrics, by Stevie Wonder from the soundtrack to this movie. It
complements the poem very well.
Gopal.

.in what movie did they say this poem in ?
From: Jolynn Werner <wernerj@>
This poem is one of the most radiant in simplistic beauty of all American
poetry. The amount of depth Frost configures in eight lines would take
most poets 100 pages! It is both moving and understandable to children of
all ages. Thank goodness the novel, The Outsiders, has made this poem
such a popular one!
From: Emel2616@
This poem can be found in the book (&movie) The Outsiders

I love this poem. It's in "The Outsiders", and I'm currently reading it in my
Language Arts [English] class since I'm in eight grade. Robert Frost is a
genius when it comes to poetry and all of his writings and I really liked how
S.E. Hinton fit this poem right in the story, especially how Ponyboy recited
it to Johnny.

From: "dbajjj" <dbajjj@>
i luv this poem. it's so beautiful, and I admire how someone can put so
much meaning into so little words. It really makes you think. I'm in eigth
grade, I haven't read "The Outsiders", but my friend did and since I own the
movie and she told me it was good, I watched it and when I heard that poem,
I thought it was beautiful, and I loved how Johnny explains it in the letter
for Ponyboy at the end.
From: XoBuTtErCuP87xo@
there is also a CD named after this poem. It is by New Found Glory. It is
from a much earlier time in thier career. After reading the poem, the CD is much
more clear.
From: "The Raff's" <yunikon@>
This poem was so deep at first i didnt get how to interpret it but i
love how there is so much meaning and now i understand that we take so
much for granted and dont know how different life would be once its
gone. i absolutely love the book THe Outsiders we are going to see the
movie next week and i cant wait.. im in 7th grade and i have never felt
anythign deep liek this btu i love it
~*~Sarah~*~
From: AV21Forever@
I love this poem it has meant so much to me.
I 1st read it and saw the movies in "The Ousiders" by S. E. Hinton
and I fell in love. He descibes being new to thing like a newborn so
openminded
not subjeted to all the drama, narrow mindness etc. that you collect while
getting older the ma is a genius and has allowed me to find another would of
analyzing poetry I just wish i could be able to understand everyting he tried to
expess in that poem.

Movie: The Outsiders
Book: The Outsiders by SE Hinton
From: Rockpapermonkey2@
It's a well written poem and my AP English class has been comparing it to
"The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger. We came to the conclusion that it was
about innocense and how we only stay innocent for so long. "Nothing Gold Can
Stay" would then refer to the fact that no mortal person can retain their
innocense. Frost is a very romantic poet in that he refers it all back to
nature.
From: "Rick Fantham" <fantham@>
In the book, the Outsiders, it has this poem and at the end of the book
Johnny says, "Stay gold Ponyboy, stay gold." Then Johnny dies. Explain
to me the meaning of these last words. Send your response to
fantham08@ Thanks a lot.

From: "good guy" <aquasword@>
i still don get wut is this poem about can some body tell me plz i need
to do a paper on it.!!!!!!!!
From: David Corman <corman7@>
its in the outsiders
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: SemiCharmed182@
My best friend got the phrase "Nothing Gold Can Stay" on his back 2 weeks
before he committed suicide. To me the poem represents him. He was a golden man,
everyone loved him. He was brilliant, kind, and very successful. But there was
a saddness in him, undetectable to the eye. Perhaps this poem was a cry out
to what his life was really like....
From: GiNaBiNa64@
The Outsiders is a book that has changed they way we look at
literature today. S.E. Hinton wasn't afraid to be edgy, which has paved the way
for a numerous amount of writers. As well as being edgy, she managed to
incorporate this beautiful poem into the storyline effectively, and in a way that has
lingered in peoples mind after reading it. I'm 14 years old, and literature,
as well as this book, have become a permanent fixture in my life. This poem
really makes me see how lucky i am to be young, and to treasure this time because
it only comes once in a lifetime.

From: "Nicole" <baddabing28@>
There is a song written by Silvertide on their Show and Tell Album
called Nothing Stays. I believe its a tribute to this poem, and its one
really cool song.
From: "Danni Lim" <blueturtles@>
i'm 26 years old, and i read this poem for the first time in the 7th or
8th grade too. to this day, it remains to be my favorite. to this day
it touches me. that's the universality of frost. amazing. nothing
gold can stay, he says. this is true, yet the memory of the poem and
it's juxtoposition to "gold" remains. the irony grabs me.

this poem is one of the few that i know by heart. It just seems to say something that i relate really profoundly to. and somehow the author managed to make even something like "nothing good can last" something beatiful.great poem. And it's just small enough enough to say it in more words than i would've thought, but not so many that it becomes too much.

The contrast between the cliched vision of progressional nature and, here,
the reality of life, fading idealistic youth, is powerful.

From: SweetNbeuty@
This is such a great poem. I love it so Much. I know it line by line.
This poem means that when we have something or someone we should apreciate
it and take adventage of it, because it won't last forever. Once it's gone
we will know how much we wanted it and needed it and we'll be sorry we never
really noticed it.
From: SweetNbeuty@

From: Janet <dasculptor@>
Did you know S.E. Hinton was only a couple of years older than you when she
wrote that book? She has a bit part in the movie "The Outsiders". Of course,
now, she's much older. and wiser I'm sure.
Also, she wrote the book under her initials to disguise that fact that she's
a woman. In the 60s it was thought women were incapable of writing so well.
When she arrived on the set to film the movie they were shocked to discover
she wasn't a man.

From: "Erin Feeney" <emf490@>
I first read this poem when I was in sixth grade--nothing has moved me
more than the words, and how such a small poem can have such a strong
message. I also read S.E. Hinton's The Outsider's and this poem is a
mind-blowing combination. This and The Road not Taken are my fav
poems!!!!

When Johnny writes "stay gold, Ponyboy," it means for him to not take
life to fast. Enjoy being young.

My daughter died......a year later while visiting her grave I found this
poem handwritten and decorated then laminated by her friend. I knew then
that the grief of her young friends (she was only 16) was as much as
mine. I have this poem in my heart now
From: "walt sochacki" <wsochacki@>
This is a great poem. I love how Johnny in The Outsiders explains at the
end about what the poem means. I'm 11 years old and i memorized it the
first time i read it. It only took my 2 days too. Love it so much. And
the song "Stay Gold" really does compliments the poem. LOVE IT!

hello!
i'm a french student and i love that movie and that poem too, i saw it when i was 13 or 14 (now i'm 16) and they made me cry but i do love american litterature
i think as most of u said that it's about innocence and in french we say 'candeur' (like innocence which is also a french
word)
well, if u had some other poem to make me read, my address is Dark_Princess_145@ or hot_sexy_punkie145@hotmail.com
by the way, if u like Frost, u'd probably like Baudelaire!
gbye!

I think this poem is radiant and beautiful. We were reading it in school
and learning the meaning. It is so beautiful. And so true too. Nothing
gold can stay!

I love the book the outsiders were reading it in my Language arts class
sence im in 7th. We had to do a project on the poem we had to memorize
it. im also doing it for a prize thats how much i like it.
~*Meranda McDaniel*~
From: "Daniel Lee" <kirby261@>
This poem is great. It says so much in only a little words. I've read
The Outsiders and it's use in the story is great. "Stay gold." I have to
admit I was a little confused when Johnny said that. We discussed the
poem in our class. Our teacher said :"Spring is so short and not too
many people stop to enjoy the beauties that come in spring." I can agree
with that.+
From: Hatlover9@
I think that this poem was deep in my mind that really brightened up my day.
From: "noble mathew" <noblemat87@>
Nothing Gold Can Stay - reading through many of the comments it is very
heartening to see that so many young peolpe are still learning this in
school. I learned this poem in grade school back in ' 89, it was taught
again to me in highschool. What is it that differentiates man from beast,
is it the simple ability to choose our actions, rather than take actions
because of necessity. I'm 28 now and it's amazing how life can at times
imitate art. I am a father of four now, and I have lost and grown new leaves
over the years, and each leaf I pray that I will remember so I can teach my
children. Another poem I think everyone should read if you haven't done so
already is Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night by Dylan
Thomas.(http://www.bigeye.com/donotgo.htm)
