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 the difference."
Questions:
A.Identify the author and the title of the poem from which the quoted lines are taken.
B.What additional meaning do the two roads have?
C.What dilemma is the speaker facing?
A.Robert Frost, "The Road Not Taken"
B.Life is here compared to a joumey. The two roads stand for the choice one has to make at a critical moment in his life.
C.Since where the road leads to is uncertain, one has to wait to see the result of the choice until one's life is coming to an end. Then it will be too late. The speaker acknowledg the limits of life, yet he indulges himself in the notion that we could be really different from what we have become, because life is unpredictable.
