Another audio source of John F. Kennedy's 1963 speech at the ground breaking for the Robert Frost Library is available from WGBH dot ORG (listen).
When power corrupts, poetry cleanses. It is hardly an accident that Robert Frost coupled poetry and power, for he saw poetry as the means of saving power from itself. When power leads man towards his arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence.
