The Road Not Taken, and Other Poems
The Road Not Taken, and Other Poems | Robert Frost
18 posts | 26 read | 2 to read
"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. "These deceptively simple lines from the title poem of this collection suggest Robert Frost at his most representative: the language is simple, clear and colloquial, yet dense with meaning and wider significance. Drawing upon everyday incidents, common situations and rural imagery, Frost fashioned poetry of great lyrical beauty and potent symbolism. Now a selection of the best of his early works is available in this volume, originally published in 1916 under the title Mountain Interval. Included are many moving and expressive poems: "An Old Man's Winter Night," "In the Home Stretch," "Meeting and Passing," "Putting In the Seed," "A Time to Talk," "The Hill Wife," "The Exposed Nest," "The Sound of Trees" and more. All are reprinted here complete and unabridged. Includes a selection from the Common Core State Standards Initiative: "The Road Not Taken."

"A light he was to no one but himself
Where now he sat, concerned with he knew what,
A quiet light, and then not even that.
He consigned to the moon, such as she was,
So late-arising, to the broken moon
As better than the sun in any case"

(An Old Man's Winter Night)

There was a reference to this poem in my current read, so it's at the top of my mind for #misunderstood

wanderinglynn ❤️ this poem! 6y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk Good pick! I still remember a college professor saying “This is not a poem about choosing between a hiking trail and a highway!” 6y
Carolhreads I've always loved this poem 6y
MuddyPuddle I actually quoted the last two lines at the bottom of my husband‘s gravestone, changing the “I” to “We”… I didn‘t think Mr. Frost wouldn‘t mind. 6y
britt_brooke Great choice! 6y

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.

I'm not really a poetry fan but even so often you come across something that hits home, just so.

The Road Not Taken is my favourite... What's yours? I have it written out on the side of my fridge (which is made up of 95% magnets 😂)

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @MrBook, the front of the fridge is even more impressive/chaotic 👌 8y
