Robert Frost was a renowned American poet known for his depictions of rural life and deep philosophical themes.
His poem “The Road Not Taken” explores the concept of choices and their impact on life. Using the metaphor of two diverging roads in a forest, Frost illustrates how decisions shape our journey, often with irreversible consequences. While the poem is often seen as an encouragement to take the unconventional path, it also reflects on the uncertainty of choices and the way we assign meaning to them in hindsight

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.
