Explanation:
These lines have been taken from the famous poem 'The Road not Taken' by American poet Robert Frost.
The author while walking through the autumn woods and suddenly arrives at a crossroad. He is in a dilemma since both the roads appeares equally appealing to him. After prolonged thoughts, he decides to follow the path that was 'less travelled', choosing to follow his own way in life, disregarding what others had done before him. He also pacifies himself by thinking that he would take the other road some other days though deep down he knows that it wouldn't be possible.
Paths in the woods and forks are metaphorical depiction of the lifeline, its crises and decisions, since pluralities of life often perplex us. Identical forks, in particular, symbolize for us the nexus of free will and fate; We are free to choose, but we do not really know beforehand what we are choosing between. Our route is, thus, determined by an accretion of choice and chance.
However, the poet has come to the decision that, for good or bad, the choice he has made in the past will be permanent and will decide his future. He looks ahead to to time when he can look back and tell that the choice he made, whether wisely or unwisely, was the point at which his life's path was set.
