[quote][color=blue]Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.[/color]
-Robert Frost[/quote]
That poem was on the Disney Channel this week, on the Suite Life show with Zach and Cody. :D
It's very interesting!
some googling on the poem:
[quote]Frost claims that he wrote this poem about his friend Edward Thomas, with whom he had walked many times in the woods near London. Frost has said that while walking they would come to different paths and after choosing one, Thomas would always fret wondering what they might have missed by not taking the other path.
About the poem, Frost asserted, "You have to be careful of that one; it's a tricky poem - very tricky." And he is, of course, correct. The poem has been and continues to be used as an inspirational poem, one that to the undiscerning eye seems to be encouraging self-reliance, not following where others have led.
But a close reading of the poem proves otherwise. It does not moralize about choice, it simply says that choice is inevitable but you never know what your choice will mean until you have lived it.[/quote]

[quote]The inspiration for it (The Road Not Taken) came from Frost
