Poem Reading
The reader begins reciting Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken," starting with the famous lines about two roads diverging in a yellow wood. The speaker expresses regret at not being able to travel both paths and pauses to consider one road as far as possible, noting where it disappears into the undergrowth. The speaker then chooses the other road, deeming it equally appealing and perhaps even more so because it appears less worn and grassy, suggesting it is less traveled. The reader continues, noting that both paths looked equally untouched that morning, with no footprints to mar the leaves. The speaker acknowledges saving the first path for another day but doubts ever returning to it, understanding how one path leads to another. The reader concludes with the speaker's reflection on recounting this decision in the future, emphasizing the choice of the road less traveled and its transformative impact.
