"“A man of my acquaintance once wrote a poem called The Road Less Traveled, describing a journey he took through the woods along a path most travelers never used. The poet found that the road less traveled was peaceful but quite lonely, and he was probably a bit nervous as he went along, because if anything happened on the road less traveled, the other travelers would be on the road more frequently traveled and so couldn't hear him as he cried for help. Sure enough, that poet is dead.”"
"لقد كتب رجل أعرفه ذات مرة قصيدة بعنوان "الطريق الأقل ارتيادًا"، واصفًا رحلة قام بها عبر الغابة على درب لم يسلكه معظم المسافرين قط. وجد الشاعر أن هذا الطريق، الأقل ارتيادًا، كان هادئًا ولكنه موحش جدًا، وربما كان يشعر ببعض القلق وهو يمضي قدمًا، لأنه لو حدث أي شيء على هذا الدرب المنعزل، لكان المسافرون الآخرون على الطريق الأكثر شيوعًا، وبالتالي لن يتمكنوا من سماعه وهو يستغيث. وبالفعل، لقد مات ذلك الشاعر."

The Blank Book

The Beatrice Letters
"A man of my acquaintance once wrote a poem called The Road Less Traveled, describing a journey he took through the woods along a path most travelers never used.

"Other people think destiny is a time in one's life, such as the moment one becomes an adult, or the instant it becomes necessary to construct a hiding place out of sofa cushions. And still other people think that destiny is an invisible force, like gravity, or a fear of paper cuts, that guide everyone throughout their lives, whether they are embarking on a mysterious errand, doing a treacherous deed, or deciding that a book they have begun reading is too dreadful to finish,"
