The Road Not Taken

BY ROBERT FROST
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.

who is Robert Froset

Robert Frost was born in San Francisco to journalist William Prescott Frost Jr. and Isabelle Moodie. His father was a descendant of Nicholas Frost of Tiverton, Devon, England, who had sailed to New Hampshire in 1634 on the Wolfrana, and his mother was a Scottish immigrant.

Frost was also a descendant of Samuel Appleton, one of the early English settlers of Ipswich, Massachusetts, and Rev. George Phillips, one of the early English settlers of Watertown, Massachusetts.

Frost’s father was a teacher and later an editor of the San Francisco Evening Bulletin (which later merged with the San Francisco Examiner), and an unsuccessful candidate for city tax collector. After his death on May 5, 1885, the family moved across the country to Lawrence, Massachusetts, under the patronage of Robert’s grandfather William Frost Sr., who was an overseer at a New England mill. Frost graduated from Lawrence High School in 1892.Frost’s mother joined the Swedenborgian church and had him baptized in it, but he left it as an adult.

Although known for his later association with rural life, Frost grew up in the city, and he published his first poem in his high school’s magazine. He attended Dartmouth College for two months, long enough to be accepted into the Theta Delta Chi fraternity. Frost returned home to teach and to work at various jobs, including helping his mother teach her class of unruly boys, delivering newspapers, and working in a factory maintaining carbon arc lamps. He said that he did not enjoy these jobs, feeling that his true calling was to write poetry.

Massage to the poet

The poem “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost is often interpreted as a metaphor for the choices we make in life and the regrets we may have about the paths we did not take. The poem’s speaker reflects on a moment when they came to a fork in the road and had to choose which path to take. The speaker chose one path, but wonders what might have happened if they had chosen the other.The moral of the poem is often seen as a reminder to not let regrets consume us and to appreciate the choices we make in life, even if they may not lead to the outcomes we envisioned. It also implies that we should be willing to take a different path, to explore the unknown, and not to be afraid of the risks that come with it. The poem also suggests that every path has its own beauty and we should appreciate the journey rather than just the destination

choices in life

In addition to my passion and my practical dream…but there is actually another part. I am a person who tells people about their problems in one way or another, so I began to pity everyone..I still have a dream or passion that when I meet a person, I take the sadness of the whole world from him and know him as a kind person. And if the world still has opportunities, remove all the negative energy from people’s lives and they remain in a better psychological state.. I swear I have met people who show happiness to the point that you deceive them and know how to talk to them and cry for them..
