llustrates God in a genuine fashion using diction. "Impersonal breathing", shows how the soul is not separate from us but one with us. The play on words Frost uses is a great example of diction. "Wholly taciturn" when read aloud could be taken as holy silence, but when read you can see he means total silence illustrating gods void. Frost also uses the word stooping instead moving when describing God. "Not even stooping from its sphere..". This one word shows the power of diction to show his negative view on the theme. Wilbur also does the same word game, but he uses it to show his positive view of God being shown through the visible world. "Yet, as the sun acknowledges With a warm look", the main word in the quote is sun, because it could be taken as the son of God when read aloud. Robert Frost's "Take Something Like a Star" and Richard Wilbur's "Love Calls Us to the Things of This World" are alike and dislike in many ways through the use of word choice, tone, speakers, and diction. The poems strongly show that by observing ordinary everyday objects you can evidently find the spiritual forces amongst them. "It asks a little of us here" but "keeping their difficult balance"....
