ORIGINAL COMMENT: I have Robert Frost reading several poems on a old 33 1/3 rpm vinyl. He does the best with the little known The Witch of Coös. His recitation of The Gift Outright at the Kennedy Inauguration is something I shall recollect until I die.
UPDATE: Today is October 31. 2007, and in honor of Halloween, last night I dug out my old vinyl 33 1/3 rpm record of Robert Frost reading his poetry and I transcribed The Witch of Coös over to digital and unto my IPod so I could listen to it today.
The Witch of Coös is my favorite occult poem, and it is of American origin. The author stays with a mother and son, overnight. They are old belivers or pagans still practicing witchcraft and the mother must be an accomplished witch, according to the author. The poem goes on to describe how mother and her French Canadian husband, killed the mother's lover and buried him in the cellar. One winter night a skeleton came up the stairs and the couple let it up into the attic and nailed the door shut where it still remains. The name on the mailbox was Toffile Lajway which is the local spelling of the Quebec name, Theophile Lajois. The text of the poem follows. It is not too long, and you might enjoy part of it, at least! It is too large to enter into the box.
