Results for: Robert Frost


Contains Frost's second national appearance in print, here as R. L. Frost, after the poem "My Butterfly: An Elegy" which appeared in the same magazine in 1894. The importance of this magazine to Frost predated his writing for it. According to Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant, Frost's first encounter with the publication was of immense importance to him: "I happened into the old library, and found on the magazine rack a copy of the INDEPENDENT, with a poem on the front page.... This experience gave me my very first revelation that a publication existed, anywhere in my native land, that was a vehicle for the publication of poetry." Small stain to front cover; minor wear and small chips.

Early but not first printing. This copy is SIGNED by the author and lengthily and charmingly INSCRIBED to a very young child on the front endpaper: "For Linda to keep for her own but not/read till she xx is six or seven; when/I think she may begin with page 29 and/go on gradually to page 30 then 41/then 42 then perhaps 57 at the rate of one or/two a year to her mothers tune and her fathers explanation. It would be nice/if she arrived at page 65 some time/late in her fifties thinking of me/Robert Frost/August 30 1942." The inscription, which takes up more than half the page, is to Linda Jean Wheelwright, the daughter of noted educator, critic, and philosopher Philip Wheelwright. The poem "The Gift Outright" on page 41 has been corrected with two words added by Frost. The recipient's small address label when she was at Vasser on the front pastedown above her small ink stamp, both hidden by the front flap of the dustwrapper.

Fair copy AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT of a complete poem of 29 lines titled "A Nearly Next to Naught Song," completely in Frost's hand and SIGNED by him at the conclusion with the dedication "For Richard Hocking/once the author's pupil for/a lesson or two at Shady Hill/or rather on the porch on/Irving Street" on a 6-1/8" x 7-3/4" piece of paper. In the upper right corner in pencil Hocking has written "1957." The text is the poem published as "A Never Naught Song" in the 1962 volume IN THE CLEARING. In this version Frost has eliminated two lines--"Out of coming-in/Into having been!"--and made various other changes in words and punctuation. The Houghton Library at Harvard has a Frost notebook, undated, containing this poem titled as "A Next to Nearly Naught Song." It is one of two poems by Frost along with "All Revelations" (1938) concerned with descriptions of the quantum nature of atoms.
