Two Paths Diverging
Do you know the Robert Frost poem, The Road Not Taken?
Of course you do. It’s one of his most famous. Everyone knows at least the last three lines:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.
I have heard multiple stories about the writing of this poem. Generally it is agreed that it was written as a bit of a joke, poking fun at an indecisive friend. The entire poem, in defiance of the last three lines, is actually a bit of irony; specifically about how his friend would always regret taking the one path and not the other.
