WHY YOU SHOULD CARE

Because he embodied New England like few other writers.

By Nick Fouriezos

October 27, 2017

The woods are lovely, bright and deep. In my mind, I am in early 20th century
New England, and Robert Frost’s steps are mine. Walk past the birches his
daughter would swing on in the summers. Hear birds chirping and imagine them to
be the wood thrushes of his letters. There, a mending wall: There, Hyla Brook.
Then, two roads that diverge. 

I came to see and feel what Frost, the four-time Pulitzer Prize–winning poet
whose work embodied New England lore and nature, may have seen and felt. After
all, this obscure Derry farm in New Hampshire is where Frost found his poetic
voice, performing at churches and public gatherings in his 20s. It has the
trappings of most ideal New England vacations, inspired by the region’s
kaleidoscope fall colors, but with the bonus soundtrack of its most famous
muse.

The experience is idyllic, like walking past Frost’s prose and into the actual
chapters of his life. You see his writing desk, and the tour guide tells you
about the late hours he kept and the way the neighbors thought he was a poor
farmer for his late mornings. You see the rotary telephone and imagine him
eavesdropping on those same neighbors, back when a dozen or so homes were all
connected to the same party line — later, the practice helped to perfect his
ability to capture local dialects. Although the tour guide mentions that these
things, even some of his books, are “like” the ones Frost would have used — such
subtle lies have a way of killing the authenticity vibe. 

 

Still, there is magic. While leaving the Derry farm, the wind begins to pick up,
carrying tufts of brown grass. And, I swear, they begin to dance in the air like
dragonflies. Walking behind Frost, in awe of his poetry and the historic beauty
of the Northeast, while also grappling with the distractions of my smartphone,
the busy highway — it requires a suspension of disbelief. Similar to the
creative patience required to appreciate poetry, actually.

New England nature he so often reflected on.

When Frost returned to the States from England, he moved to Franconia, New
Hampshire, two hours north from Derry. Here the fall leaves are as brilliant as
advertised from the mountain-view porch of The Frost Place museum. The inside of
the two-story home has newspaper clippings, photographs and letters by the bard
himself. The real gem, though, is Poetry Trail, a half-mile backyard trail
featuring plaques that display verses from Frost’s time in Franconia.

Walking quietly, his words take on a new serenity when read in such pristine
nature. This too is a reminder that the world he saw is not mine: When Frost
lived here, the land was almost all meadow. In recent years, it has reverted
back to wildness, a product of tornadoes and time. Which makes his words
particularly poignant: “So Eden sank to grief. So dawn goes down to day. Nothing
gold can stay.”

FOLLOWING IN ROBERT FROST’S FOOTSTEPS

 * Robert Frost Farm (Derry, New Hampshire): Tour the clapboard farmhouse, the
   museum and the forest behind the home he lived in from 1900 to 1911.
 * Frost Place (Franconia, New Hampshire): Visit a museum and poetry education
   center in the White Mountains, where Frost lived from 1915 to 1920. 
 * Frost’s grave (Bennington, Vermont): See Frost’s grave near the home in
   Shaftsbury where he lived during the height of his career.
