Road Not Taken 未擇之路 夏日午後皇家山

Road Not Taken

by　Robert Frost

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.

森木樹叢在眼前展開兩條岔路，而我，選了人跡罕至的那條...，

一切不同 從此開始....。

記得很久前看過的某本書裡節錄了一段詩，

如果沒記錯，應該是18世界末，

英國湖畔派詩人 -華滋華斯 (William Wordsworth)之作～

「我們走過荊棘小路 終於豁然開朗，

來到　愛已久候多時之處...。」

年少時的我，酷嗜欣賞這樣的倔強...

＂你相信世上有什麼，是永遠不會失去的嗎??

我相信有，你最好也相信！＂

丟下一束玫瑰，

我像毫不在乎地，

走過 波 瀾 壯 闊 的青春！
