One of my favorite spots in Vermont is the Frost gravesite in the cemetery of the First Church in Old Bennington--just down the street from the Bennington Monument.
Robert Frost--New England’s poet of snowy woods, stone wall and apple trees.
I hope this “touch of Frost” will inspire you to read some of his work.
Here’s a link to Robert Frost’s page at Poets.org

It includes an account of Frost and JFK

After the inagural, Frost told the new President:
“Be more Irish than Harvard. Poetry and power is the formula for another Augustan Age. Don’t be afraid of power.”
