Robert's son comited suicide in 1940.\nHis wife died of a heart attack\nOn his 87th B-day he was asked to read a peom for J. F. Kennedys inauguration\nhis dad had a drinking problem\nHe was born with a mental illness\nFrost won four pulitzer prizes. \n\nHis fondness for raw egg snack immediately before an address is one that's in the books somewhere.\n\nAlso his predeliction for going around with an ether bottle, which Thompson mentions briefly somewhere. That's a nice one because it picks up on Frost's fondness for all things Greek. How so, you ask? Ethylene vapors, my child, the inspiration of the oracle at Delphi (and a few Redneck Riviera-ites). New York Times science times section had a nice article this year about it. Seems the Temple at Delphi is built above a geologic fault in bitumous limestone--same stuff they quarry in Alabama. Bitumous limestone emits ethylene vapors, know since ancient times to produce, when used moderately, feelings, the sensation of euphoria. Course in heavy doses it knocks you right out. For most of the middle part of this century, ether, for surgery, tonsilectomies for example, was the anesthesia of choice. \nFrost, says Thompson, killed (by mistake of course), his dog that way, trying to help the vet. Not sure of the date on that.

Robert Burns is the Poet Laureate of Scotland.   He wrote many wonderful poems, most of which are in Scotish dialect, which is fascinating to read.   In Scotland they still have an evening dedicated to him, in which they traditionally eat haggis.  (He even has a poem called "To a Haggis".)  You can read some of his more famous poems here.\n\nhttp://www.poetry-archive.com/b/burns_robert.html\n\nBurns was part of the larger group of Romantic Poets, including John Keats, Percy Bysse Shelley, George Gordon Lord Byron, and William Blake.  Each of these men had a great impact on the way society at the time thought and the way ideas were expressed.\n\nBurns is probably most famous for two of his poems, "Auld Lang Syne" and "To a Mouse".  "Auld Lang Syne" is the traditional song sung on New Years Eve.  "To a Mouse" is not a necessarily well known poem, but it did inspire author John Steinbeck.  His famous novel "Of Mice and Men" was named after a line in the poem which states "the best lain plans o mice and men gang aft agly".  The poem is saying that, even though people (or mice!) may plan and work and hope for the future, they can't predict what will happen and often their plans will go awry (gang aft agly).  Fate plays a part in everything; this was a major theme of Steinbeck's novel.

Robert Frost\n\nNature's first green is gold, \nHer hardest hue to hold. \nHer early leaf's a flower; \nBut only so an hour. \nThen leaf subsides to leaf. \nSo Eden sank to grief, \nSo dawn goes down to day. \nNothing gold can stay.
