My quote was:
"Her early leaf's a flower;/But only so an hour./Then leaf subsides to leaf./So Eden sank to grief,"
from "Nothing Gold Can Stay"

For some reason I am missing the button to be able to create an entry on my weblog. Therefore I am putting my comment directly on here:


The Road Not Taken By Robert Frost


“And sorry I could not travel both” Line 2 and “Oh, I kept the first for another day!” Line 13


I only want to make a point that by stating line 13, Frost technically canceled out line 2. How could he be sorry when he will soon discover the other road another day? It almost makes the poem sound contradicting because of such a cancellation. Therefore, I don’t even see line 2 as being all that necessary to the poem. It could practically be cut out.

"From what I've tasted of desire/ I hold with those who favor fire."

Lines 3-4

"From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire."
