FROST, Robert. TYPED TRANSCRIPT OF REMARKS MADE BY FROST AT A DINNER. 
Typed Transcript of remarks made by Frost at a dinner at the Leverett 
House on 23 March 1936, transcribed by Richard Hocking on a 8-1/2" x 11" 
piece of paper. Hocking describes the first remarks by Frost, sitting on 
a table with his legs dangling, as "Can anybody say something 
irritating. If not, maybe I will." The over 500 words transcribed cover 
a variety of topics including poetry and politics. Among the specific 
matters talked about are rhythm in poetry, including a variation of his 
famous "tennis without a net" statement, as well as nationalism in 
poetry and the German people. A fine summary of off-the-cuff remarks by 
Frost. At the top in pencil is the following: "Father (Richard Hocking) 
went to dinner last night at Leverett House--Robt Frost's dinner--most 
interesting were Frost--Powell of the Law School I should say--Father. 
He struck this off for you." Near Fine. (#011293)        $350.00
