    The Road Not Taken

     
     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 I--
     I took the one less traveled by,
     And that has made all the difference.

    A Chinese poem
    Here is a Chinese poem written by famous poet Li Po(701-762), Tang Dynasty; translated by Lin Yutang.
     
    Drinking Alone under the Moon
     
    A pot of wine amidst the flowers,
    Alone I drink sans company,
    The moon I invite as drinking friend,
    And with my shadow we are three.
    The moon, I see, she does not drink,
    My shadow only follows me:
    I'll keep them company a while
    For spring's the time for gayety.
     
    I sing: the moon she swings her head;
    I dance: my shadow swells and sways.
    We sport together while awake,
    While drunk, we all go our own ways.
    An eternal, speechless trio then,
    Till the clouds we meet again!
     
     
    Thanks dude!
