the Frost stone
just a few yards
from the burial place of Robert Frost--
a nice neighborhood in which to spend eternity

Many thanks for sharing Robert Frost's resting place. I recently bought "The Poetry of Robert Frost" at a used bookstore here. My volume contains all 11 of his books.
I had a lover's quarrel with the world - amazing.
Looking at those dates, was RF pre-deceased by four of his children? Marjorie aged 29. Carol aged 38. Elliott not quite 4. And Elinor aged 1 day.
How immensely sad. No wonder he was a man of the soil and the leaf and the field.
Just read Wiki ... and of his 6 children only two outlived him with one dying in the same year.
The quote from him that Wiki uses is "If I had to sum up life in three words it would be life goes on".
Cemeteries are a great place to feel the wings of history.
Frost's poems in blank verse certainly are easy to teach to all levels of students. A complicated man with an unusual engraving on his gravestone. But it seems so out-of-place on the gravesite of a man who gave so much to the literary world. Wonderful post.
So sad, reading what Julie wrote....beautiful resting place.
Very impressive!
Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for this image, the poetry of Robert Frost is one of my favourite.
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
You do have a wonderful heritage up there in our northeast!
A lovely blog. I particularly like your kitchen table, with its flowers.
Nice doorway and the gate into eternity. Funny, I always associate Frost with N.H. I didn't know he was buried in VT.
Hey, I remember a church near the monument, with the interior painted several different shades of grey. Is it still like that? Sorry, but I don't remember the name of the church.
Thank you everyone for your great comments. Clueless, I'll dedicate Saturday's post to you and answer your questions then ( :
What a beautiful, beautiful monument. I believe that is the only horizontal headstone I've ever seen that I like.
This is a great post, Brattcat. I'm curious what his connection to Bennington was. I'm surprised he wasn't buried closer to his farm in New Hampshire.
I agree with what Christopher said about visiting cemeteries.
