Workers renovating a bathroom at the Robert Frost Farm in Derry, N.H., have found a hidden room in which it appears that the great poet Robert Frost found inspiration. The walls of the room, which shows evidence of having been sealed off for over a hundred years, are covered with dirty limericks scrawled in crayon, in Frost's unmistakable handwriting, many of which begin with the classic line "There once was a man from Nantucket." Experts have opined that Frost would visit the room whenever he suffered from writer's block, and would write limericks on the walls until he recovered his muse. This find greatly expands Frost's oeuvre, and may be even more significant than the 1973 find of Walt Whitman's "There once was a fellow named Enis" series.
