Fire and Ice
Some say the world will end in fire ... Freedom of the Moon
I've tried the new moon tilted in the air ... The Ghost House
I dwell in a lonely house I know ... The Pasture
I'm going out to clean the pasture spring ...

Robert Lee Frost (3/26/ 1874 – 1/29/ 1963)
was an American poet. His work frequently employed themes from the
early 1900s rural life in New England, using the setting to
examine complex social and philosophical themes. While Frost's
poems continue to be popularly interpreted optimistically within
the frame of an idyllic pastoral life, most modern literary
criticism is preoccupied with their frequently pessimistic,
menacing, and disingenuous undertones. A popular and often-quoted
poet, Frost was honored frequently during his lifetime, receiving
four Pulitzer Prizes.

Robert Frost: A literary landmark, only minutes away from Frost's gravesite in Bennington, was opened in 2002 to honor America's favorite poet. Frost lived in the Stone House in South Shaftsbury, Vermont from 1920 to 1929. Here, Frost composed many of the pieces that became part of his first Pulitzer Prize winning volume New Hampshire, published in 1923, including "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening."
