Clearly, one of the most widely read and loved American poets, and one of the greatest that mankind has ever seen, Frost was popular for depicting rural life on poetry using American colloquial speech. He was a four times Pulitzer Prize winner and the Inaugural Poet for President Kennedy. He was also popularly known as the unofficial poet laureate of the United States in the mid-20th century. In the peak of his career, Frost became one of America's rare public literary figures and was an artistic institution in himself. Amongst the numerous honors that he was felicitated with during his lifetime, Frost was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for his poetic works. He was even named poet laureate of Vermont.

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

You push and I'll pelt.'
They so smote the garden bed
That the flowers actually knelt,
And lay lodged--though not dead.
I know how the flowers felt.

Between stars—on stars where no human race is.
I have it in me so much nearer home
To scare myself with my own desert places.

Greater than being shore to the ocean-
Holding the curve of one position,
Counting an endless repetition.
