I visited this grave in a churchyard in Bennington, Vermont, a week earlier, but I include the report here, after we've had a look at the farm in New Hampshire where Frost lived a part of his life. He always loved New Hampshire, but after he left the farm he lived for quite a long time in Vermont, associating for several years with Middlebury College's School of English and its Writers' Conference. Robert Frost was named poet laureate of Vermont, and when he died that was where he was buried. One of his sons died of an illness at a young age and is buried at this site. You can see the name of his daughter Marjorie on the stone. She died when she was just a young woman, after giving birth to her child. A few years later Frost's beloved wife died. Frost told people at that time that it was very difficult for him to go on, but you can see by the dates inscribed on the stone that he lived another twenty-five years.

Robert Frost in 1961 wrote, "Breathes there a bard who isn't moved when he finds his verse is understood and not entirely disapproved by his country and his neighborhood."
