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.

— Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken

喜歡這首詩。

或許因為它的意境；或許因為很能描寫自己的一路走來。

一路以來，根本是一個不斷走入歧途的歷程。

我學長看我的某個歧途，只說了句：很可惜。

也是。

如果像他的路徑，我現在所該煩惱的，應該不是現在的這些事情，而是跟他一樣，每天該安排些什麼樣的事情來打發時間。

如果是那樣的路徑，其實也不錯。但人就是有劣根性。在將畢業的時候，除了每天窩圖書館或書店，啃著不同的小說，偶爾打打電動，心裡擔心的居然是，一入社會就可以直接看到自己未來三十年之後的樣子。

歧途不存在貶義。就是一條分歧的路途。不就是這首詩嗎？
