As for Richard Burton, I still listen to "Under Milkwood" occasionally. Never tire of it. His voice was Midas, personified. No equal.
The Frost's house is partly a pun because the house which inspired the poem was used in the TV series A Touch of Frost, it was appropriate because the fog was freezing. A handy to add to the magical feeling I was after.
As for the reading, it's a shame Richard Burton is dead, as he would have been ideal for the guttural 'rolling rolling', but you are probably right about the words you highlight, as I tend to speak the poem as I write it and thus the process becomes as much about the sound as the literal sense.
I am wondering if 'Frosts house' is too misleading, when the poem is about fog?
Thanks for the feedback.
