One of my very favourites is Robert Frost. My utter laziness orecludes searching 380 pages of posts to see if this has been put up before but here goes (for your reading pleasure):


The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, 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

Is it cheaper going to India to buy it?

I've been playing a silly kind of Haiku Scrabble trying to find words with several syllables. Well chuffed with 'alien' yesterday but pleased with 'Hoegaarden' and 'refreshing' this evening too
