Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
and sorry I could not travel both.
Yet 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.
So 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 onto 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
took the one less traveled by.
And THAT has made all the difference.
--Robert Frost (1916) This is one of my most favorite poems. It says alot about life. I think this also describes what we are trying to do here at Irish Evolution.
