Robert Frost
An American poet, born on March 26, 1874, and died on January 29, 1963.
Frost's poems often draw on rural life and nature, presenting seemingly simple scenes. However, beneath the surface, his works are filled with deep philosophical thoughts about life, choice, and human nature.
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Papa’s gonna buy you a mockingbird.

But only one mother the world over.
