Between the years 1957 and 1961, Frost had travelled to England, Israel, and Greece. He also recited two of his poems during the inaugural ceremony for the then American President, John Kennedy in 1961 (Frank 78). In ironical twist, the nature he seemed to love and adore hindered him, when the extreme sun and windy conditions could not allow him to read “The Preface” at the event. However, he was a smart old man and recited from memory “The Gift Outright”, one of his old poems. Frost was made a goodwill ambassador and this saw him travel to the Soviet Union in 1962, where he held a long conversation with the then Premier Nikita Khrushchev, of whom he talked as being smart, brave, and not far-headed. From that travel, it was alleged that Frost had said that Khrushchev had insinuated that the United States of America “was too liberal fight”, words that caused great discomfort in the capital, Washington.
