I'd love to see 'The house was quiet and the world was calm' by Wallace Stevens, as it's a poem about books.

Tale of melon city (^O^!)v

35 Yaş Şiiri. It's a beautiful poem by Cahit Sıtkı Tarancı. I tried my best to translate it, I hope at least someone reads it! Thirty Five Years Age 35! Means half of the way. We are in the middle of life, like Dante. The quintessence in our youth ages, -It is futile to cry, beg today, Goes away without a pity. Did it snow to my temples, what is it? Is that creased face mine, my God? What about the purple under-eye circles? Why do you seem as enemy; The mirrors I recognized as friend for years? How people change in time! I'm not he in every pic of mine: Where are those days, that enthusiasm, that thrill? That cheerful man is not me; It's a lie that I am carefree, a falsity. Our first love is now misty; Even the memory sounds unfamiliar. Friends we started together in life Broke up, one by one; Our loneliness is cumulative. I see now, the sky has another colour! I noticed late that the rock is stiff. Water drowns human, the fire burns! Every rising day is a trouble, Human understands that when he gets to this age. Quince is yellow, pomegranate is red, autumn! That I acknowledged some more every year. Why are these birds circling? Where did that funeral come from? Who is dead? Which garden is that I've seen scattered? What to do, the death is close by everybody. It is going to be "slept, couldn't wake up". Who knows where, how, at what age? You're going to have one short lived kingdom, On that throne-like coffin rest.

Üçüncü Şahsın Şiiri. A poem by Atilla İlhan. I tried to translate, I hope someone will read and like it! By the way, the poet didn't use capitals on purpose so I didn't as well 😄 Poem of The Third Person when your eyes reached mine, that was my calamity, i wept. i knew that you didn't love me. i heard that you had a lover: a spindly boy, very thin and wicked in my view. whenever i saw him in front of me, i was afraid that i would kill him. that was my calamity, i wept. whenever i passed through Maçka, there were always ships in the port. trees would laugh like birds. a wind would take away my mind you would light a cigarette quietly. you would burn my fingertips. you would curve your eyelashes and look. i would feel cold and trembled. that was my calamity, i wept. evenings ended like a novel. jezabel would lay down in blood. a ship left the port. you got up and went to him. you would go with your waxen face. you would stay with him until the morning. he was just a wicked boy in my view. whenever he laughed, he looked like a corpse. especially when he took you in his arms, that was my calamity, i wept.

Can I recite a poem? How can I do that? Please let me know.

Are u from India❓

@@brainboxanky1729 yes mate.

Me tooo

Me toooo

True, it also makes me kinda sad as I learnt the true side of the poem back at school and have seen many people misinterpret it. But, at the same time, I think that perhaps its a good thing that it inspires people, unintentionally.

I never found it motivational, but melancholic at its core, it's about the choices we won't make, the patch of forest we'll undoubtedly never see, the things we'll never do, doesn't matter how much time we have or how we use it, that melancholy will stay. It's a poem about accepting limitations and living with our decisions whatever they were as there's no clear choice and you won't take them twice. It can inspire people but in the poem no one said one path was better than the other.

this is actually depressing

I don't like this.. cries😭😭

lmao

ReAlLy?!!!! This was written as a joke?

.......it all makes sense now

@@a-rue-nima yup. Frost had a friend named Edward Thomas who was an indecisive person. So, Frost wrote this poem to Thomas on his inability to make a decision and not get satisfaction from that decision. Frost described Thomas as a kind of a person who would regret later, no matter which road he took. The popular version of poem is a very idealistic and motivational version but the poem actually was more practical and melancholic.

Always find you here. I agree, however you should not always take the one less traveled by.

Nimr Al Nimri haha, yeah do whatever makes you happy! But don’t feel like you have to do what everyone else does.

Yeah. It was my favourite too!

What if the road less taken has wolves on it?

@@dimlighty o... sorry..bro... thanks..for.. correction 😁

@@sidd6803 :)

yes actually it is when he took his occupation as a poet his life changed like in the road "and I- I took the one less travelled by and it has made all the differences"

After Frost returned to New Hampshire in 1915, he sent Thomas an advance copy of "The Road Not Taken". Thomas took the poem seriously and personally, and it may have been significant in his decision to enlist in World War I. Thomas was killed two years later in the Battle of Arras. - Bro died

@@SanjanaLaddha You don't have to know that how capable you are. When the life will push you towards darkness and pull you at your lowest, you'll find out that there are no limits, because you were never bound.

@@Comedyisremedy I agree, bounds are created by and for measurable matters unlike space, time and ourselves.

My interpretation is that a man makes a decision in his life, either something simple or difficult. He notes how many people have made the same choice as he had, as both roads were equally travelled. Many years later, the man recalls the event, but he embellishes it, for he claims he took the less traveled road, which has greatly affected his life. In reality, it was the series of choices he made, and not one single decision, that made all the difference in the long run. If you believe the man truly took the road less taken, listen to the first two stanzas of the poem again

In laymans language the core of this poem would be - That in our life we make a lot of decisions.When we fail or see the negative impact of those decisions we feel we should've made the other choice(s) So in summary the title could suggest The very human nature of Regret (about the 'other' choice)

The speaker of the poem sighs which could mean he’s relieved, disappointed, or tired. So it’s an ambiguous ending on whether his choice was good or bad

Jane Carreon perhaps Frost meant the road ‘seamed’ less travelled to him. In the second stanza he writes it was just as fair but perhaps had the better claim. It’s interesting how, as individuals, we see things so differently... and make our decisions based on what appears to us as a road less travelled by. I’ve never questioned why he would first say the roads were equally travelled, yet he chose one less travelled ... great analysis you have there

The interpretation that my high school lit teacher offered is this: it doesn’t matter which path you choose in life. He said that frost was trying to point out how so many people are obsessed and often anxious with what road they chose (the one less traveled, or the well beaten path), that they end up wasting away their lives looking for some elusive purpose. Instead, Frost is arguing that there are many things in life that give you meaning, and that it doesn’t really matter which path you choose so long as you seek meaning in THAT path and not in the longing for another. Evidence of this idea in the poem comes from when Frost says that after going back and taking the road less traveled he found it to be no better than before. So given this interpretation the closing of the poem (I took the road less traveled and it was better) can be read in sort of an ironic sense. I really like this interpretation. It gives me a little solace about what I should do with my life, especially since I am at such a turning point in my life (I’m a senior in High School). I am guilty of having been obsessed with planning the next ten, fifteen, twenty years of my life, and this poem sort of eases that stress. If I go into life with the mindset that wherever I end up I will have the opportunity to be fulfilled, then I can truly focus on my fulfillment and not go on a witch hunt for something I might otherwise never find. Let me know what you guys think. Cheers!
