Robert Frost was perhaps one of the most popular and beloved

Robert Frost was perhaps one of the most popular and beloved of the twentieth
century American poets.In many ways his works are related to nature and his New
England surroundings.To Frost,nature is a source of wisdom as well as a source
of joy.Nearly every poem he wrote is filled with a sense of nature's
reality,her beauty,her threat,and the meaning she has to man.He ever said"
Literature begins with geography." Robert Frost(1874--1963) was born in San
Francisco,California.His father,a journalist and local politician,died when
Frost was about eleven years old.His Scottish mother picked up her career as a
schoolteacher to support her family.The family lived in Lawrence,
Massachusetts,with Frost's grandfather,William Prescott Frost,who gave his
grandson good schooling.In 1892 Frost graduated from a high school and attended
Darthmouth College for a few months.Over the next ten years he held a number of
jobs,working in a textile mill and teaching Latin at his mother's school.In
1894 the New York Independent published Frost's poem My Butterfly.From 1897 to
1899 Frost studied at Harvard University,but left without receiving a degree.
When he sent his poems to the Atlantic Monthly,they were returned with this
note,"We regret that the Atlantic has no place for your wonderful poems." In
1912 Frost went to England.There he published his first collection of poems,A
Boy's Will,at the age of 39.It was followed by North Boston(1914),which
gained international reputation.The collection contains one of Frost's
best--known poems,Mending Wall.As a four--time winner of the Pulitzer Prize,
Frost did not receive these recognitions until his later years when his poetic
brilliance was finally recognized.
