Quote:
"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference" (Frost 634).
Response:
This has to be one of the most famous and frequently quoted of Frost's poems...and rightfully so. There is much wisdom packed in this brilliant symbolic work. I particularly enjoy the last three lines because they remind me of my husband, who epitomizes the social non-conformist. I think that I married him because he has always taken the "road less traveled." He is an individual thinker and welcomes challenges in life with open arms. My children look up to him for this, and I encourage them to do so. I only hope that I can keep up with him on that "road less traveled." Sometimes it's a bumpy ride, but it has indeed "made all the difference."

I almost chose this poem as well- you're right, it holds a lot of wisdom. I remember having to memorize it in sixth or seventh grade and the teacher somewhat explained that the road less traveled was often the "scary" one, but usually it was the one we should follow. In general, I definitely agree with her!
