i guess i have to tell you about that misunderstanding -- you see the young man in question was unaware the a poetry reading had just let out --the audience was milling about in front of the building where it had just taken place-- as this young man was passing bye --he overheard some people talking --he was not able to understand everything they were saying --but caught something about Poet as they were pointing to Robert Frost --the young man made his way up to Mr.Frost and said "i'm a poet too" but before he could say anything else Mr.Frost cut him off as you accurately quoted above "that the name poet could only be bestowed etc." with that Jeremy Poet walked off --never realizing who he had been speaking to----
i just thought i'd set the record straight --
