Two Views In a Not-So-Yellow Wood






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.

  5. I really like the black and white--I think it's because it really adds to the starkness of the image. Great shot!

  6. oh beth i LOVE this poem. i used it in yoga as our meditation once. the theme of the class was "Own your choices--Stay present in your choice, but take comfort with the knowledge that the next decision can be different if need be." i prefer the color here.
