Robert Frost’s Success

by Bud Parr

“There is a kind of success called ‘of esteem’ and it butters no parsnips. It means a success with the critical few who are supposed to know. But really to arrive where I can stand on my legs as a poet and nothing else I must get outside that circle to the general reader who buys books in their thousands…. I want to reach out, and would if it were a thing I could do by taking thought.”



Robert Frost quoted in “Dark Darker Darkest” The New Republic, Jan. 16
