“A mother takes twenty years to make a man of her boy, and another woman makes a fool of him in twenty minutes.”

American poet

Robert Lee Frost was an American poet. He is known for his realistic portrayals of rural life and his mastery of American colloquial speech, especially in poems set in New England in the early 20th century. In those settings, Frost explored questions that were larger than the landscape itself, using ordinary rural scenes to look at social and philosophical concerns. His work stays closely tied to place and speech, but it often reaches beyond them to reflect on human experience.
