Consisting of four stanzas of five lines each, this historical piece champions following one's path and ideas. Some critics, however, argue that this popular literary work entails expressing irony towards a particular idea.
Enjoy this wonderful masterpiece below :
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 bends 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 steps 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 thee one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Robert Frost
