WANDERING ROADS

a poem that suits every generation

Everyone finds himself on a road, this road can be straight, sometimes interrupted and wandered. At a certain point of life there’s always something that makes you lose, change o revaluate your path.

This poem by Robert Frost fits perfectly with this concept.

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.

The speaker's realization that, despite his or her initial impressions, the two roads are in fact equally untraveled (lines 9-12) may be interpreted within the context of the extended metaphor to mean that everyone's life is unique, no matter what path one chooses.

The bend in the road that the speaker describes in line 5 may be read as a metaphor for people's inability to comprehend the consequences of their decisions before they make them
