"Next, one of the most famed poems in American literature, by Robert Frost, an ambiguous poem, interpreted in different ways, is it about regret or pride? Only you can decide but perhaps the title provides a clue as to the poet’s intention."
"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 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.

A nem járt út (Hárs Ernő fordítása)
Rőt fák közé két út vezetett,
S csak egyre tehettem lábamat,
Sokáig álltam, s míg lehetett,
Szemmel követtem az egyiket,
Míg el nem tűnt a bozót alatt;
S a másik útra tértem, amely
Ugyanolyan szép volt s jobb is talán,
Mert járni való fű lepte el;
Noha járt voltában semmivel
Nem tett túl egyik a másikán,
S mindkettejükre e hajnalon
Láb nem taposta levél borult.
Az elsőt, ó, máskorra hagyom!
De visszatérek-e, nem tudom,
Ismerve, hogyan fut útba út.
S így kezdem majd sóhajtva mesém
Valahol sok hosszú év után:
Két út vitt át a fák sűrüjén,
S a ritkábban járt lett az enyém,
A különbség ebben áll csupán.
