Robert Frost (born on this date in 1874)

from WRITER's ALMANAC (American Public Media, Garrison Keillor):
Frost (born March 26, 1874 in San Francisco, CA) won the Pulitzer Prize for poetry four times. He said: “One thing I care about and wish young people would care about, is taking poetry as the first form of understanding. If poetry isn’t understanding all, the whole world, then it isn’t worth anything.”
He also said, “In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.”
