AB-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, March 24,2001 L uicew WT X “It Goes On” Robert Lee Frost, bom on March 26, 1874, was not a man of few words. Nevertheless, the four-time Pulitzer Prize winning poet could be concise: “In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life,” he told us. “It goes on.” As the unofficial poet lau reate of the United States, the aged Frost was invited to speak at John F. Kennedy’s inauguration in 1961. He composed a special poem for the . occasion- which spoke of “A golden age >1 Poe'ry an< * power Of which this noonday’s the beginning hour.” His age also gave him perspective, it seemed. “Why abandon a belief merely because it ceases to be true,” he penned in 1956. “Cling to it long enough, and...it will turn true again.” Indeed, age evidently had its virtues. “I never dared to be a radical when young For fear it would make me conservative when old.” Robert Frost died in 1963 Freedom lies in being hold kt To keep your writing clear and concise, reread Strunk and White’s The Elements of Style at least once a year.
