Don't need you to answer the question for me, just need some help understanding the question and poem. Please and thankyou.
What characteristic of Modern poetry does the controlling image suggest in “Nothing Gold Can Stay” by Robert Frost? Which word is an allusion? How does the allusion help the controlling image? Use text evidence to support your answer.
Poem:
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.
