From the first time I heard this short poem, it got stuck in my memory. More than 40 years have passed and it’s still firmly stuck.
It speaks to prophecy without ever using the word. And right now, it resonates eerily somewhere in the ether.

My favorite, I think. Also, he was a local guy, so he really “got” New England.

Sometimes, I just can’t say it half as well as someone else has already said it. This is one of those times.

It hadn’t occurred to me until right now, DUH!, but George R R Martin must have read Robert Frost. A Song of Ice and Fire.

Everyone has read Robert Frost. If you went to college, you read him.

We read Robert Frost in high school, but I’m guessing that’s not done in high school these days. I can still recite quite a few of his poems.

I have no idea what they teach in public school now, but they do include Frost in college lit courses. High school? Do they teach literature at all?
