The Road Not Taken 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 s hould 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. —Robert Frost 135

Mr. Robert Frost And were an epitaph to my story I ' d have a short one ready for my own. I would have written of me on my stone: I had a lover ' s quarrel with the world. 134

I The poems by Robert Frost are from COMPLETE POEMS OF ROBERT FROST. Copyright 1916, 1921, 1923, 1947 by Holt, Rinehart and Winston, Inc. Copyright 1944, 1951 by Robert Frost. Re- printed by permission of Holt, Rinehart and Winston, Inc. And I — I took the one less travelled by And that has made all the difference. Somewhere ages and ages from now When we have turned the foregoing leaves For the hundreth time. We shall perhaps realize That this little volume was a living dream — A dream to the Temple of Time. . . We fashioned something past recall — As the passive poet would say— Something everlasting, a thing eternal; Its importance a signpost Into our land of dreams. It is enough. Farewell; Good Luck; God Bless You: To your classmates, friends. To faculty and administration — But not to memories and dreams ! Say nevermore That dreams are fragile things. What else endures Of all this broken world Save only dreams. A. Manning 136
