I do have Frost's complete poems. It's still packed in a box from my latest move however!

I found your words to be intoxicating. I ran off a copy to re-read later. I know... not very "green" of me.<br /><br />I certainly am more than merely "prompted" to grab a copy of Pale Fire wherever I can find it and make it a favorite.<br /><br />I am also a fan or Robert Frost.<br />I come from a long line of Frosts. As a matter of fact, my great grandfather's full name was John Frost Hubbard, and he went by "Frost" his entire life. <br />hmmmm, could that be where my son gets his abundant poetic talent? I may have to do some research.wispy willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10194020052008879681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091316613928276649.post-90894040604218595202009-09-03T12:33:57.856-04:002009-09-03T12:33:57.856-04:00thank you so much, I will definitely have to add N...thank you so much, I will definitely have to add Nabokov's book to my reading list!sgreerpitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764262558160301061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091316613928276649.post-10242345942149221322009-09-02T18:07:44.052-04:002009-09-02T18:07:44.052-04:00A beautiful post about poets, books and extinguish...A beautiful post about poets, books and extinguished life on the door step.

He definitely reads better stuff than I do. But, I do love Frost, and feel a kinship with his work. <br /><br />By the way, my daughter and grandsons are Frosts, but no relation to the poet.
