(The Road Not Taken)
1. 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.
2. Oh, I marked the first for another day!
3. Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.
4. 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.
Stopping by the woods on a snowy evening
(Emily Dickenson) I did not stop for death....
I heard a fly buzz when I died
(Paul Simon / Art Garfunkle) Dangling Conversation
Simon and Garfunkle - Sound of Silence
William Carlos Williams
I ate the plumbs you were saving...
