ROBERT FROST IN ARLINGTON

Arlington has something at last to
match with STATIONS memories Of the
Daniel Webster visit and address, for
Robert Frost, the poet, has visited
Arlington and spoken there. There is,
however. something quaint in compar-
ing the traditional bombastic presence
of the oratorical Webster with the
utter sincerity and spontaneity of Mr..
Frost To the large and breathlessly
attentive audience which gathered at
Mrs. Gilchrist's house 10 hear him, he
read poem after poem as though he
were that moment composing them, as
though they were as new to him as
anyone. And the people before him,
never taking their eyes from his face,
listened as though their lives depend
ed on their catching every syllable ut
tered by that quiet, humorous, sincere
voice; for il is TO the word sincere
that one comes back always in speak
ing of Mr.. Frost.
The members and friends Of the
Poetry Discussion Glass know now
that his personality, like his poetry, is
the outward sign and symbol of deep
and constant communion with truth.
Mr.. Frost read first, that inimitably
profound poem, Mending Wall, which
means more every time it is heard or
read. Beside Mending Wall from
North of Boston," Mr. Frost read
The Death Of the Hired Man; The
Mountain and the Black Cottage from
Mountain Interval; The Road Not
Taken; The Telephone; Birches and
the Cow in Apple Time; the last de-
licious bit of humor which tells of the
Bacchic revels of the COW who breaks
through the fences and eats the wind |
TALL under the trees. From "A Boys |
Will" Mr.. Frost read ITO the Thawing
Wind" Moving and The Tuft of |
Flowers.

,e held In October, day to be decided
