The Wayfarer Poem by Stephen Crane
The Wayfarer
The wayfarer,
Perceiving the pathway to truth,
Was struck with astonishment.
It was thickly grown with weeds.
"Ha," he said,
"I see that none has passed here
In a long time."
Later he saw that each weed
Was a singular knife.
"Well," he mumbled at last,

The poem is cynical, yes, but far more meaningful than “The Road Not Taken.“
Ha! Humor. Mumbles, humor Agree with you Peter, more meaningful. Crane has a way with thought/words/actions From CBT: Thought, emotion, thought, behavior...
