Our Doom to Bloom
Robert Frost’s little-known poem, “Our Doom To Bloom,” was first released on Christmas, 1950. This holiday, like the references in the poem and the very choice of words themselves, are highly significant. And though the addition of the famous Robinson Jeffers epigraph – “Shine, perishing Republic.” – leads many to believe Frost too was a cynic of modern society, there remains an optimism hidden in the same meticulous choice of words and themes.
