Talk:Robert Frost

message: Frost's poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" is used as a plot device in the spy movie "Telefon" (1977). In the movie, "dormant" agents were "awakened" by reciting the last lines of the poem to them. In Tarantino's movie "Death Proof", the same code phrase is used, possibly as a reference/homage to Telefon. It might be worth mentioning it under "Legacy and cultural influence" (I have just re-signed up to Wikipedia and I don't seem to have the clearance to edit the article myself). Cheers!

Robert Frost was the first poet to speak at the inauguration of a president, reciting from memory “The Gift Outright,” when the glare of the sun prevented him from reading “Dedication,” a poem he had written specially for the occasion. Surely this should be included.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:B050:1D01:78B4:B12C:791F:811F (talk) 11:22, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

"In 1894, he sold his first poem, "My Butterfly. An Elegy" (published in the November 8, 1894, edition of the New York Independent) for $15 ($470 today)."
$15 in 1894 is over $500 today, not $470 ($501+ according to the CPI inflation calculator). 158.104.45.26 (talk) 07:57, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: Most inflation measures are imprecise and the general ones cannot take account of variation in the value of different types of goods and services. £30 is only 6% of $500 anyway. Martinevans123 (talk) 11:19, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
