Robert Frost
There are two roads in the yellow forest.
Unfortunately, I can't participate at the same time.
I stood at that intersection for a long time,
I looked at a road that I could see,
Until it disappeared into the jungle.
But I chose another path,
It's lush and lonely,
Appear more attractive and beautiful;
Although on this road,
There are few travelers' footprints.
The leaves fell to the ground that morning,
Neither road is polluted by footprints.
Ah, leave a way, see you another day!
But I know this road has no end,
I'm afraid I can't go back.
Maybe in a few years, somewhere,
I will sigh softly and look back:
There are two roads in the forest-
I chose a lonely one,
From then on, it decided my life path.
Poetry criticism
Detailed explanation of each paragraph:
The first paragraph: He stands at the crossroads of life, and he wants to take both roads. He sees one road leading to the end.
The second paragraph: He chose a road with few people and full of challenges.
The third paragraph: He wants to leave a way and come back another day, but it's a long way. He knew he couldn't come back.
The fourth paragraph: He recalled his past and the forest, the road he had no choice.
Why choose the road with fewer people: That road may be more difficult and needs to be explored, so it is more valuable. The poet has been longing for more challenges. A better life.
"The Road Not Taken" uses the natural road to write the road of life, only one can be chosen, and it must be carefully chosen, and it cannot be turned back, and the poet's imagination of the future is written.
The Road Not Taken is a philosophical lyric poem, which is simple on the surface, but contains profound philosophy. It seems to pour out personal experiences, but in fact it expresses people's feelings. In this poem, Frost captures the concrete image of the fork in the forest, evokes people's rich and vivid associations by metaphor, and sets off the philosophical symbol of the fork in the road in life. The poet chose the common fork in the forest to explain the philosophy of life and how to choose the road of life.
The first three paragraphs of this poem seem to only describe the difference between two roads in the forest, but they contain great metaphorical significance. In the fourth quarter, the poet made a change, from the road in the forest to describing the road of life, "and I chose the one with less people,/which decided my road of life." This sentence contains the poet's infinite feelings about life, which is deeply symbolic and philosophical. The poet reproduces the beautiful natural scenery with a subtle and fresh artistic style, and reflects the emotional waves in people's hearts through the description of natural scenery. The poem also pays attention to arousing people's association, and combines rationality and indifference in a short poem, which deepens the meaning of this poem and gives people rich enlightenment. Poets convey philosophy to readers through beautiful artistic conception creation and rich lyric expression.
In this poem, the poet expresses his thoughts on life with simple and natural language and rhythm. This unpretentious style makes this poem like a cool and soft wind on a summer night, full of fresh and natural interest, giving people a refreshing feeling.
This poem describes a person's choice and his mentality when he makes a choice. As for the specific content of choice, the poet pays attention to the choice itself. Every reader can find his own life experience and appreciate the philosophical content in this poem.
Because this poem has the openness of connotation, it is like a huge framework, and its content needs readers to fill in, in which they can review their life trajectory, thus being touched and causing deep thought.
