my favourite poet

“Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.” Robert Frost once said and cannot help but agree with him.
Robert Frost was born in San Francisco on March 26, 1874. He moved to New England at the age of eleven and became interested in reading and writing poetry during his high school years in Lawrence, Massachusetts. He was enrolled at Dartmouth College in 1892, and later at Harvard, though he never earned a formal degree.
Frost drifted through a string of occupations after leaving school, working as a teacher, cobbler, and editor of the Lawrence Sentinel. His first professional poem, "My Butterfly," was published on November 8, 1894, in the New York newspaper The Independent.
In 1895, Frost married Elinor Miriam White, who became a major inspiration in his poetry until her death in 1938.The couple moved to England in 1912, after their New Hampshire farm failed, and it was abroad that Frost met and was influenced by such contemporary British poets as Edward Thomas, Rupert Brooke, and Robert Graves.
By the time Frost returned to the United States in 1915, he had published two full-length collections, and his reputation was established. By the nineteen-twenties, he was the most celebrated poet in America,
The author of searching and often dark meditations on universal themes, he is a quintessentially modern poet in his adherence to language as it is actually spoken, in the psychological complexity of his portraits, and in the degree to which his work is infused with layers of ambiguity and irony.
i first got to know of him when i was in primary 4, when my sister's literature text was a book entitled "Robert Frost's Poems" by Louis Untermeyer. at that time i had no interest in poems and have not touched the book till now. flipping through the pages, i realise that Louis has gave a detail analysis of almost each poem.
the three poems that i picked are:

1. the gift outright
2. a considerable speck
3. the silken tent

these three poems are the most quoted poems by Robert which illustrate his ever- growing and increasing variety.i would recommend everyone to read his poems and maybe you might get some enlightenment.
