Part of my lazy man’s way to search engine optimization is to hit Google Trends everyday. See if there is anything in the top ten or twenty that looks like I might have an opinion about. It is shocking to me how many days people are Googling things that I have no interest in whatsoever. Other days you find things that are a bit baffling, like today. The number 2 item on Google Trends when I looked a few minutes ago was Robert Frost Collection. Ok, I like Robert Frost’s Poems and have the same handful of favorites as most people, The Road Not Taken, The Mending Wall, and Fire and Ice. Hmm, that’s about it for my Robert Frost Collection.
But doesn’t Robert Frost Collection sound like a line of home decor? The Reading Lamp from The Robert Frost Collection is only $275 and comes with a small booklet of Robert Frost Poems. . .
Robert Frost (1874-1963), four-time Pulitzer Prize winning American poet, teacher and lecturer wrote many popular and oft-quoted poems.
Nature and Frost’s rural surroundings were for him a source for insights “from delight to wisdom”, or as he also said: “Literature begins with geography.”
To read a few more Robert Frost poems head to Poems by Robert Frost.
by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I–
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
