Dear Professor Pearlman:
I didn't say or imply that Frost was a poor
devil who wrote some verses in the late century. I
only pointed out the fact that cummings was deeply
interested in making a substantial difference inside
the poetic language. He invented a whole new
conception of verse. But it's pretty clear that Mr.
Frost has done a nice job, too.
Best Regards,
Dirceu Villa
