Stopping by the Woods

Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening"
Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

我深深地被你感動了。

The Road Not Taken is another favorite of the author Robert Frost among all his own works.

Renoir's paintings are highly valued and liked by me and my family. However, the one you posted here didn't catch much of our attention before. Now when I looked at it, I was deeply attracted by the movement out of the imbalance. I will do more research on this one later.

Love the piano music "A Walk in the Forest" by Brian Crain.

Thank you and I appreciate your sharing so much.

Poem: The Road Not Taken
Author: Robert Frost

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 took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference

The Road Not Taken
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Road Not Taken is a poem by Robert Frost, published in 1916 in his collection Mountain Interval. It is the first poem in the volume, and the first poem Frost had printed in italics.

The poem, especially its last lines, where the narrator declares that taking the road "one less traveled by" "made all the difference," can be seen as a declaration of the importance of independence and personal freedom. The Road Not Taken seems to illustrate that once one takes a certain road, there's no turning back, although one might change paths later on, they still can't change the past.
