Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
Edited on Sat Nov-05-05 06:28 PM by ET Awful
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.

2. One of mine as well, unfortunately, the accompanying photo is not
showing thanks to a flaky web server that I'm about to call and yell about. :)

4. I love Robert Frost
I've always wanted the last three lines of that poem on my headstone.
