A son to a journalist and diehard democrat father and a schoolteacher mother, Robert Lee Frost was born in 1874 at San Francisco in the state of California, and passed on in mid 20th century in the year 1963 (Waggoner 87). He lost his father, William Frost, at a tender age of eleven years and his mother, Isabelle Moody, who had stopped teaching, took over as the breadwinner of the family. This meant that she had to return to her teaching career to ensure that she was able to support the family. Frost’s family lived in Lawrence in Massachusetts at the farm of Robert Frost’s grandfather, William Prescott Frost. William schooled Robert Frost and in 1892, Robert graduated from high school.
