THE ROAD NOT TAKEN - BY ROBERT FROST

The speaker, walking through a forest whose leaves have turned yellow in autumn, comes to a fork in the road.
The speaker, regretting that he or she is unable to travel by both roads (since he or she is, after all, just one person), stands at the fork in the road for a long time and tries to see where one of the paths leads.
Judging it to be just as good a choice as the first, and supposing that it may even be the better option of the two, since it is grassy and looks less worn than the other path.
Though, now that the speaker has actually walked on the second road, he thinks that in reality the two roads must have been more or less equally worn-in.
Choose one path!
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;
. . .
I'm interested in this path! It's less traveled on!
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
But the other road looks fine too.
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
Robert Frost's central idea in his poem “Road Not Taken” is that by choosing a path that most people don't, a man can make a big difference in his life. In this poem, a man came to a place where he had to make a choice between two roads.
