All the difference in the world.
| |
| 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. |

This poem was written by Robert Frost. Taken from his collection named Mountain Interval. The poem's name is : The road not taken. Actually I read the last three lines on Pogo's blog and couldn't resist the temptation of posting the complete poem here. Robert Frost has written some of the greatest poems I have ever read ( strictly personal opinion ) which includes Stopping by the… which is commonly liked by many people. Another poem of great substance is Mending Wall. Man I still remember the intense discussion that went on in the school's english class after this poem was read.
Just read the last three lines, that makes all the difference.
