The great American poet Robert Frost was born on March 26, 1874, San Francisco, California, USA. He left this world on January 29, 1963.
The author of numerous collections of poems and plays, in 1924 he received for his work the well-deserved first “Pulitzer“ prize out of a total of four awarded in his name. Without being able to graduate from the prestigious Harvard, he remains in history as one of the most talented and notable artists in the world. With a slightly ironic touch in his works, he bequeaths to his readers incredibly truthful works about life, love and art.
Here we have collected some of his most memorable thoughts on these 3 topics:
