Robert Frost (1874-1963)
was born in San Francisco, and his father, a newspaper editor,
died when he was 10. His mother then took him to live with
his Grandfather in Massachusetts. He married his high school
sweetheart in 1895, and for the next twenty or so years made
a living through a combination of farming, teaching and writing.
The Frosts lived in England between 1912 and 1915; and it
was from about this time on that Robert Frost was able to
make a full-time living as a writer. This poem was published
in 1923. Honours, awards and prizes followed Frost from then
on, and he died in Boston in 1963.
