Library Chats: Historic Preservation A. Sharon Sharry introduced Steve Schreiber, Chair of Architecture Department at UMass, Amherst. B. Steve Schreiber: a. He is not appearing in his role as Town Councilor. b. Several of his classes have used the Jones renovation project as studio projects; they, too, could not figure out how to fix the building’s problems within the existing footprint. c. Has spoken with the architect of the 1993 Jones expansion; discussed the “magnificent ambition” of that project, although the result did not live up to expectations. d. Finegold Alexander Architects (FAA) is the pre-eminent construction firm in the country. Jim Alexander recently won a Lifetime Achievement Award. e. The original Jones is a great example of the 1920’s rural past of this area; the Jones and the Inn at Boltwood are meant to look like they have been added onto. 4. Public Comment A. What does historic preservation mean? To bring the exterior, using current weatherization and accessibility standards, and the interior back to what they looked like in 1928. FAA are pioneers of historic preservation. B. We plan to re-open most of the original 1928 rooms to the public. C. Discussion of Buddy Buildings – attaching a new, modern building onto an historic building and using modern systems in the new spaces. The Buddy Building should complement the original, not overwhelm it. D. Discussion of balancing staff needs with historic preservation – FAA listens to shat staff have to say. The key is flexibility in design as well as furnishings. E. We want this expansion to be a Legacy Building, like the original 1928 portion. F. There will be more public discussions of the designs once we get into Design Development. Page 1 of 2 G. Status of the Jones Historic Structures Report – Eldra-Dominque Walker, Assistant Professor at UMass, Amherst, is working on it. H. Discussion of modernism vs. historicism vs. urbanism in design. I.

Looking at creating well-ventilated space with opening windows, rather than making changes to HVAC system. Exchange rate recommended by CDC is 4 per hour. Study will not tell us if or how we can improve or HVAC system, only what the air exchange rates are in the various parts of the building (paid for out of Town CARES Act). 10. If opening building at some point should limited browsing be our first priority, and can we think about how to use the building for our most vulnerable populations? Very much a part of staff conversation and will continue to look at community needs and how to best utilize limited use of the building. 11. Have we considered logs for contact tracing? Currently use for staff but will need to figure out for public when we get to that point because of confidentiality issues. 12. What are the social distancing distinctions in the document? Can we change the capacity wording? 13. Who will be responsible for calculating metrics? Will follow up with health director. 14. Consider amending mask language to include those unable to wear a mast due to a medical condition or disability. 15. PPP will be looking at the disaster recovery plan and preparing something for the Board to review. B. Budget 1. Walter Dickinson Trust - need to send paperwork to BOA to complete transfer and determine if BOA or Vanguard will handle the transaction. 2. MOTION: When the funds from the Water Dickinson Trust are brought over to the Library and incorporated into the endowment, four percent (4%) of the initial value shall be committed annually 1 to funding books and similar materials for the North Amherst Library starting in FY2023.

Frost’s Language and Style 30 CONCLUSION . 49 B IBLIOGR.APHY . 5 1 11 PREFACE Although Robert Frost occupies a unique position in modern poetry, he has not received the careful critical evaluation his work deserves. Anyone who has studied the numerous articles and books about him is quick to note that much has been done in the way of biographical sketches, regional vignettes, and appreciation, but little effort has been made to examine the poetry itself. There are many reasons for this lack of serious consideration. The main cause, however, is to be found in the very nature of his art. The poetry he has written is of a type distinctly different from that of his major contemporaries. At first glance, his work has an unusual simplicity which sets it apart. Frost’s poetry does not conform to any of the conventional devices characteristic of modern poetry. Modern poetry often exhibits obscurities of style and fra~nentary sentences, whereas, Frost’s sentences are clear. In modern poetry the verse forms are irregular with abrupt shifts from subject to subject. Frost’s language is conventional - close to everyday speech. Because he demands less erudition in the reader, his poetry may appear to lack the depth of thought that is found in the best modern verse.

  • Chapter - IV CHAPTER-IV
    Chapter - IV CHAPTER-IV THE FROST UNIVERSE: A STUDY IN MAJOR IMAGES AND SYMBOLS "Pipes in hands": Early Phase (1913 - 1916) His (Frost's) primary artistic achievement, which is an enviable one, in spite of shortcomings, rests on his blending thought and emotion and symbolic imagery within the confines of the lyric. It would seem to be an essential part of both his theory and practice to start with a single image, or to start with an image of action, and then to endow either or both with a figurativeness of meaning, which is not fully understood by the reader until the extensions of meaning are found to transcend the physical. Thompson, Lawrance. Robert Frost. Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 1959. 38. ... [I]n Frost the symbol, presented (mite casually as an image, opens outward upon a vista of meaning. The vista does not have any definite terminus and in the farthest distance ifades into vague areas of suggestion. Lynen, John F. The Pastoral Art of Robert Frost. New Haven: Yale University Press, 1960. 27. Frost's firstAolume, A Boy's Will (1913), "the Record of a Phase of Post- adolescence"', begins with a sonnet "Into My Own". It opens up the nexus of Frostian imagery wedded to the dark woods. Since Frost's poetic being has been shaped and reshaped by the woods, and the woods and the poetic being are almost 71 inseparable in Frost poetry, the study of this chapter hence begins with our observations on woods imagery: One of my wishes is that those dark trees, So old and firm they scarcely show the breeze, Were not, as't were, the merest mask of gloom, But stretched away unto the edge of doom.

  • Joseph Varghse Robert Frost
    ROBERT FROST (1874-1963) "I never go down the shoreline [city in King County, Washington] to New York without watching the birches to see if they live up to what I say about them in the poem.” Robert Frost Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant [American journalist and writer] Describes – the way in which Robert Frost came to write "Birches” "As for the poet, 'who never saw New England as clearly as when he was in Old England,' he could not tie down his creative moments. It was about this time, early in 1914, while tramping the muddy yard at the Bungalow [West Midlands], that he suddenly; he says, wrote a new poem, not to be included in North of Boston. This was the now so famous and beloved 'Birches,' with its cold and crystal memories of another kind of wintry world.” in "Birches," even though Frost saw New England most clearly when he was in Old England, he re-viewed his wintry New England scene through Thoreauvian eyes” ○ Robert Frost and the New England Renaissance George Monteiro 100 Henry David Thoreau’s description anticipates Frost's handling of imagery- ○ “I love Nature partly because she is not man, but a retreat from him. None of his institutions control or pervade her. There a different kind of right prevails. In her midst I can be glad with an entire gladness… ○ If this world were all man, I could not stretch myself, I should lose all hope. He is constraint, she is freedom to me. He makes me wish for another world. She makes me content with this.

The Frost family is called back to the East Coast by William’s family for his funeral. “Frost absorbed from his father a great deal, including a feral drive to make something of himself, to exercise influence, to feel the world bending to his will…Frost’s lifelong…passion to excel and win in whatever he did [was] also a legacy from his father.”4 1885 – Frost family moves to New England. They first live with William Frost’s family in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Frost recalled, “At first I disliked the Yankees. They were cold. They seemed narrow to me.

  • Just Who Was the First (Unofficial) Poet Laureate of the United States?
    Just Who Was the First (Unofficial) Poet Laureate of the United States? Robert Lee Frost (March 26, 1874 – January 29, 1963) was born in San Francisco, CA, the son of a teacher/journalist, William Prescott Frost, Jr., and Isabelle Moodie Frost. His father died when Robert was ten years old, and Robert moved to Lawrence, MA with his mother and his sister, Jeanie, to live with his paternal grandparents. Today, there is an elementary school named for Frost in Lawrence, MA. Frost graduated from Lawrence High School in 1892, co-valedictorian with the young woman who was later to become his wife, Elinor White. He attended Dartmouth College for one semester, but he was restless and returned home to teach and to work at various jobs. Frost’s first published poem, “My Butterfly: An Elegy” appeared in the New York Independent in November, 1894. He was paid fifteen dollars; this convinced him that he could write good poetry. In December of 1895, Robert finally married Elinor (she had turned him down before, because she wanted to finish college first). Their first child, Elliott, was born the following September in 1896. Frost decided to give formal education another try, and he entered Harvard in September, 1897 to study liberal arts, He left Harvard after two years without attaining a degree in order to work and support his young family. The Frosts’ second child, Lesley, was born in April of 1899. Their first son, Elliott, died of cholera in July, 1900, just a few months short of his fourth birthday. In October, 1900, the Frosts moved to a poultry farm in Derry, NH, which was purchased for them by Robert’s paternal grandfather.

  • Unit-Ii Poetry
    GENERAL ENGLISH: I YEAR - SEMESTER I HANDOUTS UNIT-II POETRY Lesson-1 The Road Not Taken - Robert Frost About the Poet: Robert Frost (1874-1963), was an American poet. His poems are mainly concerned with real situations, the rustic life of the countryside and landscape. The poems though they appear simple on the surface, are actually thought-provoking. They follow his own view on poetry that „a poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom.‟ Four times Pulitzer prize winner(1924, 1931, 1937, 1943), his volumes of poetry are A Boy’s Will (1913), North of Boston (1914), The Mountain Interval (1916), New Hampshire (1923), West Running Brook (1928), A Further Range (1936), A witness Tree (1942), Steeple Bush (1947) and Complete Poems(1951). The present poem, The Road Not Taken was first published in 1916 and it is the first poem of The Mountain Interval. Central Idea: One day while travelling alone, the poet reached a point where the road bifurcated into two. He could not decide which way to go. Since he is only one traveler he could not travel both and he took long time to decide as to which road to take. He even tried to look for the end. Finally he chose the one that seemed a little less frequented though he himself admits that there is actually no such difference. Though he had doubts about his return he says that he kept the other road for another road. At the end the poet remarks that his decision has made all the difference not specifying whether it is for good or bad.
