The Road Not Taken

A very good friend of mine made me discover this poem recently and I wanted to share it with you dear reader. Enjoy it.

The Road Not Taken,
by Robert Frost (1874–1963).

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;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

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 all the difference.

Somewhere on the autobahn, Germany

I'm doing 130km/h and I don't see a thing. It's pitch dark outside and there are countless snow flakes smashing my windshield. My hands are tightly grabbing the wheel. I'm fully focused, allocating each of my brain cells to processing the informations I gather. Still I barely distinguish the white lanes. I'm trusting the car in front of me to stay on the road as I use its red brake lights as a reference point in the curves. What a blizzard!

Movember 9th

Le résultat après une grosse semaine. Côté dons, je suis toujours à 0. En même temps je ne fais absolument aucun lobby alors...
Ah oui, car pour ceux qui ne l'auraient pas compris, le coup de la moustache c'est surtout pour m'amuser.
