A new name for my blog...
I decided to give my blog a new look, and rename it for my favorite poem. How do you pick just one line? I love this poem, and have since high school? Do you have a favorite?
The 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 a 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 onto 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.

I am a huge fan of romantic poetry. Lord Byron, John Keats, Percy Bysshe Shelley.. they're my favorites. I like how their works have so much imagery and respect for nature.
