The road not taken

Chxta · 01-06-2007, 11:20 PM

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And remain one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one
To where it bent in the undergrowth

And then took the other, as just as fair
And perhaps having the better claim
For it was grassy and wanted wear
Though the morning's passing through
Had worn them the same

And both that morning lay
Steeped in leaves no foot had trodden black
O, I kept the first for another day
But knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted I shall 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 travelled by
And that has made all the difference

I love Robert Frost

Into My Own

One of my wishes is that those dark trees,
So old and firm they scarcely show the breeze,
Were not, as 'twere, the merest mask of gloom,
But stretched away unto th eedge of doom.

I should not be withheld but that some day
into their vastness I should steal away,
Fearless of ever finding open land,
or highway where the slow wheel pours the sand.

I do not see why I should e'er turn back,
Or those should not set forth upon my track
To overtake me, who should miss me here
And long to know if still I held them dear.

They would not find me changed from him the knew--
Only more sure of all I though was true.

---Robert Frost
one of my favorites!
