![]() "Harry Krause" wrote in message ... On this day in 1961 Robert Frost recited "The Gift Outright" at John F. Kennedy's inauguration, initiating the short, exclusively Democratic tradition of Presidential panegyrics in America. Although Frost's presentation stumbled, he eventually triumphed, and when thanking Kennedy afterwards for his moment he expressed a hope that it might be the beginning of something: "Poetry and power is the formula for another Augustan Age." I wonder who will read "My Pet Goat" for America today. I'm heading out to the Shenandoah shortly. It's cold, but the air is clear and the water is running fast. And I though it was a posting about your love life. |
