Answer:
Why did the poet take a sigh?
The reason the poet is telling his story with a sigh is probably because he is reminiscing what a long, hard road it was that he had chose.
What is the symbolic significance of these lines?
Frost says that he shall be retelling this story about the two roads "ages and ages hence." This suggests that this means hundreds of years from the time of writing. He was either thinking of life after death.It also implies that his poetry wouldbe read ages and ages after his death. The phrase "ages and ages hence" suggests that the choices he made to take one road rather than another was of great significance not only for his own life but for the world. The choices that we make in life have infinite consequences.
