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
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

I have to say it is a good poetry. my friend on EbonyFriends.com told me there are many road that is not taken, especially the life raod, we should go to take them.
weird...
so i read this here last weekend, or better i didn't quite read this, just saw this, then i left for a week-long course the whole last week, and by thursday night the instructor says 'ok to recap everything we learned during this week all i have to do is to leave you with this poem from r.frost' and goes on reciting this... i couldn't quite tell where i'd just seen it.
so there, random unimportantly irrelevant weird things happen in life, wow.
