138 A STROLL THROUGH VIENNA

When thinking of Vienna, you might imagine
hearing the clip-clop of horses’ hooves on the
cobblestones, envision elegantly dressed people
on the way to the opera, and start yearning for a
piece of delicious Sachertorte.

ished slums.

162 THE ENCHANTED POETRY TRAIL

I felt like a voyeur pressing my nose against the
cottage's ill-fitting-screen. Through the window
streaked with dirt, beyond the impressionistic
veil of cobwebs, I distinguished a small wooden
table topped with a vintage oil lamp and a manual
typewriter. My heart pounded as I peered inside
the Frost Place, the home that had once belonged
to Robert Frost
