The Road Not Taken
By Robert Frost
One of Frost's most popular poems and my favorite, "The Road Not Taken," can be interpreted in many ways and is often cited as a metaphor for making difficult decisions in life.
Here is the final stanza of the poem:
"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."
These lines are particularly impactful to me because they reflect the Frost’s contemplative tone and suggest that the choices, we make in life can have a significant impact on our future. Additionally, the repetition of "I" emphasizes the Frost’s individuality and personal agency in choosing their path. As a writer, I appreciate the way Frost uses imagery and symbolism to explore complex themes in a simple yet profound way.
