The Odyssey - Graham's world tour
(around the world in 80 contracts)
Je m'en allais, les poings dans mes poches crevées; |
I went off with my hands in my torn coat pockets ; My overcoat too was becoming ideal I travelled beneath the sky, Muse! and I was your vassal; Oh dear me! what marvellous loves I dreamed of! |

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
and sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, 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 feet 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 travelled by,
and that has made all the difference
