“They are dragged to the withered bracken by the load, And they seem not to break; though once they are bowed So low for long, they never right themselves.”

American poet and educator of the early-to-mid 20th century, Frost is best known for his rural New England settings and precise, often ironic verse. His work explores themes of isolation, nature, and human struggle, with collections like *A Boy’s Will* and *North of Boston* cementing his reputation.
