Short Introduction to Poet Robert Frost



Robert Lee Frost was born in San Francisco, California in 1874. He is considered one of the greatest poets of the 20th century and has been widely acclaimed internationally. He was named after Confederate General Robert E. Lee. He is very well known for his realistic depictions of rural life.

When Frost was only 10 he moved from San Francisco to New England. His work and personality seemed to have been profoundly influenced by his new home, and also were affected a series of personal tragedies that befell him. In 1895, Frost married Elinor Miriam White, whom he'd shared valedictorian honors with in high school and who was a major inspiration for his poetry until her death in 1938.

In his early adult life Frost was only moderately successful as a published poet. Buoyed by his first poetry publication he proposed marriage to High School classmate Elinor White in 1894. At the time she refused because she wanted to complete her college degree before marriage. The next year he asked White again for her hand in marriage, and having completed her studies she agreed.

For nine years Frost worked on a farm in New Hampshire while writing poetry. He wasn't a natural farmer, and eventually resumed work in the field of education. The family decided after a few years that Frost's poetry might be better received in England and moved to a small town outside of London in 1912.

The move proved to be a wise one, and Frost's first collection of poetry was published in England in 1913. Having broken the literary world the Frost family moved back to America during World War I. Frost began a notable career as a poet, lecturer, and teacher at Amherst College.

In 1924 Frost won the first of his four Pulitzer prizes for poetry. He accepted several additional teaching positions throughout the United States for the next four decades, and was awarded honorary degrees at over 40 universities. In 1961 at the age of 86 Frost recited a poem at President John F. Kennedy's inauguration.
During his lifetime, Frost would receive more than 40 honorary degrees, and in 1924, he was awarded his first of four Pulitzer Prizes, for his book New Hampshire. He would subsequently win Pulitzers for Collected Poems (1931), A Further Range (1937) and A Witness Tree (1943).

Frost is considered a literary treasure for his consistent style and the depth of his poetic work. He died in 1963 after suffering from prostate cancer.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
