  • Audio of Robert Frost reading his own poems.
    Robert Lee Frost (March 26, 1874 - January 29, 1963) was an American poet. His work was initially published in England before it was published in the United States. Known for his realistic depictions of rural life and his command of American colloquial speech, Frost frequently wrote about settings from rural life in New England in the early 20th century, using them to examine complex social and philosophical themes.

    I learned to be touched by sadness listening to his poem at Kennedy's Inauguration. I was only 13 and didn't know who I was, but as I sat watching him struggle with the bright Sun on a cold day as it bleached the letters white. How sad it seemed that this great man had to endure seeming addled by age. I felt sadness as though he were my Grandfather who I never knew showing me what there was to look forward to a lifetime later.

    How wonderful to hear Frost’s voice reading his poems! ‘Stopping by Woods…’ has remained a favourite of mine since English lit. class during the 60s. Many years later I was privileged to visit his house in Maine - a special memory. Thank you for sharing this tape.

    I love this man’s writing. It was a key inspiration for my own poetry writing. As all human beings, Mr. Frost had struggles. It is always important to separate the art from the artist. I wish more Americans were able to divorce celebrity from capability; especially when they choose their political leaders.

    "To Frost"
    Poet, birthing words that never meet death,
    Against the window, vapor'ed in your breath.
    Composed upon unwinding roads you've crossed,
    Though warm in form, bone chilling is the Frost.
    Inspiration: your ill-timed given gift.
    Received in present tense so to uplift.
    For words, once spoken, spray across the air.
    And stop, without knowledge, of when and where.
    And so, all poets, outlived by their words,
    Shall live forever as the universe.
    by: Carlos Ornelas

    I wonder what Mr. Frost would think of me, thinking of him, on this lovely snowy day. Slowly pacing across my house, drapes retracted. Gazing aimlessly outside, not taking in any one thing but everything at once. Nostalgic for days gone by that never happened. Just the same. My flesh retreats, in a reluctant gait, to the the dark side of the house. Colder, dimmer, lifeless but unjudging. My soul desires the light.

    Just a crack in the road. I have observed' on pilgrimage, of no discernment. Wondering' to question, such'. Does each hour' coincide, each step'. To what side? Did this route bring' me, viewing a flaw' in a mis-match' journey. Not' merely mine, no-one' can lay claim's. On owning the trail, before they tread. What is a step' to the mile? - where is the mid way'? To you, or me. And when' would it be a finished story? If ever. Certainly not' by simply, laid death. To much in that' finds, unanswered. The mystery' one creates, by never showing. How curve and destination could have forked. There-by' expanding, what dreams' may had come. If not for untimely leaving, of existence. For that, never again' being known. As branch, or root. Twisting' down ever deeper' into tomb. Without Sun's rays, or up to fresh, clear air. Finding blue sky's, by touch' of heaven's domain. The slow' arduous, direction across. To maybe, again' push through. Up-towards, light's greater' caption. Perhaps' tearing the veil.
    And making straight' the path, leading out' of perdition. Breaking' a place in asfault. And rising above' the crack, once' more. To continue' a new way. Down a much' different road.
