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 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.

Dette er helt klart et av mine favoritt dikt. Hadde en Amerikansk professor som leste det for oss, og han gjorde det så levende for oss at det ble malt for øynene... Jeg kjenner meg igjen i det, og syns det er noe særlig rørende ved det siste verset... Liker det godt.. : )

Jeg kjenner meg også igjen i dette diktet, og det er nok derfor jeg liker det så godt.

Fint dikt...det pleier også å slå godt an hos elevene....i hvert fasll blir det ofte en god diskusjon etter det diktet.

Jeg fryser alltid når jeg leser spesielt det siste verset. Flott at du henta det frem, Solveig.

Jeg elsker også det siste verset, for jeg har selv gjort mange valg i livet som har send meg ned "the road less taken". Glad for at fler liker det.
