The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
the road not taken could very well be the hershey highway.
Wow Robert Frost is indeed a poetic phenomenon. He writes with heart, and many admire him for that :)
The second stanza reveals that the passing there / Had worn them really about the same. He's sighing at the end because he likes to remember that he took the road less traveled...even though he knows deep down that at the time, the roads had been, in fact, equally traveled and he essentially flipped a coin to decide which one to take. His personal choice to remember one has being less traveled has made all the difference because there was no difference in the roads. There's a certain fatalism in the poem. There are many roads to take, but the journey and the destination are probably about the same no matter what you do, but if it makes you feel good to imagine that you made the better choice, then by all means, imagine away! That's my take on the poem...but not my take on life!
having chosen the road less traveled by, and that has made all the difference..............Hats off to you Mr Frost..........
Love this poem so much, tells about everyone's life and the difficult decisions every time
chaining the person you supposedly love, by lies, babies and contracts..but one day the truth will exposed and the babies find their way and the contracts will no longer matter..will your chain be as strong as you aimed?
