Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.

— Robert Frost

Robert Lee Frost (March 26, 1874 – January 29, 1963) was an American poet. His work was initially published in England before it was published in America. 

佛罗斯特是佛老读书时代最喜欢的美国诗人之一。他最出名的一首诗大家都听说过：

The Road Not Taken

    By Robert Frost                                            

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

这首诗在美国文学史上地位颇高，当年老师讲这首诗用了三节课。佛老至今仍喜欢。
