Yesterday, while taking a break from Hermionish activities, I completed a survey regarding my bibliophilism...and ended up reminiscing about my love for Robert Frost.One of my favorite reference sources, Bartleby.com, describes Frost's work as, "...concerned with human tragedies and fears, his reaction to the complexities of life, and his ultimate acceptance of his burdens."
Another favorite reference source, Poets.org, has a very well-written synopsis on Frost's life.
A few of my favorite poems by Frost:
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
I recall covering Frost in my Modern Literature class at Oakland University with Professor Haworth Hoeppner...with one of my closest friends, Sara, sitting next to me. I recall being especially moved by Home Burial, but wouldn't understand its full context until a few years later when experiencing a tragic loss.
"‘Three foggy mornings and one rainy day
Will rot the best birch fence a man can build."
