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 1took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.

This collection was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1943. Most of the poems in this volume are short lyrics.This collection was published after several unfortunate tragedies had occurred in Frost's personal life i.e. his daughter Marjorie's death in 1934, his wife's death in 1938, his son Carol committed suicide in 1940. Despite these losses, Frost continued to work on his poetry and eventually fell in love with his secretary Kay Marrison, who became the primary inspiration of the love poems in this collection. This collection is the last of Frost's books that demonstrates the seamless lyric quality of his earlier poems. The most popular poem of this volume is "The Gift Outright", a patriotic poem that was recited at the presidential inauguration of John F. Kennedy in 1961.

North of Boston By Robert Frost North of Boston is a 1914 poetry collection by Robert Frost. It includes two of his most famous poems, "Mending Wall" and "After Apple-Picking". Most of the poems resemble short dramas or dialogues. North of Boston was published by David Nutt. Following its success, Henry Holt and Company republished Frost's first book, A Boy's Will, in 1915. The New York Times said in a review, "In republishing his first book after his second, Mr. Robert Frost has undertaken the difficult task of competing with himself." Like many of the poems in North of Boston, "Mending Wall" narrates a story drawn from rural New England. The narrator, a New England farmer, contacts his neighbor in the spring to rebuild the stone wall between their two farms. As the men work, the narrator questions the purpose of a wall "where it is we do not need the wall". He notes twice in the poem that "something there is that doesn’t love a wall", but his neighbor replies twice with the proverb, "Good fences make good neighbors".

When we think of Robert Frost, the most celebrated American poet of the twentieth century, certain poems immediately come to mind: “The Road Not Taken” – “Fire and Ice” – “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” – and numerous others. This volume—Frost’s second—may, however, become the volume that first comes to mind. Unless you are one of the few intimately familiar with these offerings, you will find gems sure hereafter to be listed among your very favorites. Frost, unlike the nineteenth century romantics, does not glorify nature—he, with classic understatement and subtle rhyme, becomes one with nature. And he draws his reader in to take part. Robert Frost was the recipient of more Pulitzer Prizes than any other poet, recognized in 1924, 1931, 1937, and 1943. Decades will pass before another will be so honored.
