It is a powerful image and the power comes from the strange experience when Frost met his 'own image' in the woods near dusk at a place where two "lonely crossroads" intersected each other. The choice is an image of the choice of life. The choice is wholly arbitrary, whimsical, undetermined. The problem of choice is in a way elementary, since neither self-interest, moral obligation, nor even curiosity provides a real basis for preferring one road to another. The major theme of the poem, The Road Not Taken, is the problem of choice. Frost continued to write prolifically over the years and received numerous literary awards as well as honours from the United States Government and American universities. This volume contains several of his most popular pieces, including "Mending Wall", "The Death of the Hired Man" and "After Apple Picking". In 1914, Robert Frost directed publication of "North Boston". "Stooping by Woods" is a fine example of Frost's theory of poetry as metaphor. In all his poems, there is an inner significance. In his poetry we fund the combination of impulse and art. He is a lyric poet which is characterised by spontaneity and discipline.
He was essentially a poet of Nature and in this respect he has affinity with Wordsworth. His other volume of poetry includeįrost was a prolific writer. He again won the Pulitzer Prize for third time. He won the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1931 for the first time. His volume "Mountain Interval" was published in New York. The second volume of poems appeared in London under the title " North of Boston". His first volume of poems was published in London under the title "A Boy's Will". Robert Frost was born in San Francisco on the 26th March. So we must be ready to face them as we have to move ahead with the choice and we can not go back. But this choice has some advantages or some disadvantages. Through this the poet conveys that in our life we has to take decision or make choice. The road that Robert Frost took was not only the "different" road, the right road for him, but the only road he could have taken. The poet’s "difference" is in him from the beginning, long before he sets out from his career. He would some day tell himself he took the less travelled road "and that has made all the difference". Yet even at the moment of choice, the poet curiously imagines that the choice was important. The passing there had worn out really about the same. After walking some distance on the road, the poet found actually there was no such difference. The grassy road means that the road was not used or only a few people had walked through it. After pondering on it for a long time, finally he choose one road because it seemed a little less frequented. The poet, at first could not decide which path to take. Once travelling alone, the poet stops at a point where the two roads diverged in the wood.
