About This Item
"The writing of Jean Gould's book was begun about a year before Robert Frost's death. In front of the wood fire in his little cottage high on a Vermont hillside, she was fortunate in obtaining fresh material about his outlook on life directly from the poet." The Aim was Song by Robert Frost
Before man came to blow it right
The wind once blew itself untaught,
And did its loudest day and night
In any rough place where it caught.Man came to tell it what was wrong:
I hadn't found the place to blow;
It blew too hard--the aim was song.
And listen--how it ought to go!He took a little in his mouth,
And held it long enough for north
To be converted into south,
And then by measure blew it forth.
