因为＊的生活和工作，因为他在这所大学的生活和工作，我们对这个世界的掌握又多一分。Robert Frost is one of the greatest poets in America. He had a short period at Harvard, but though he did very well, he left in the middle owing to his tuberculosis. Then he worked at odd jobs, mak-ing shoes, editing a country newspaper, teaching school and finally farming. This kind of life expe-rience had its effect upon his poetry in more than the choice of subjects, for he wished that his poet-ry should be as simple and honest as an axe or hoe. Therefore when he was apparently talking about some farming activities or daily routines in poetry, he endeavored to express some very profound philosophical ideas in reality. His style is simple and natural, but very graceful. He won the Pulitzer Prize on four occasions. When he was eighty-seven years old, he was invited to read his poetry at the inauguration of President John F. Kennedy in 1961.
