Question

“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



(a) What does the narrator mean by “a yellow wood”?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The “yellow wood” means the poem is set in autumn. This also means there were leaves on the ground that might have obscured tracks in the roads. The speaker has come to two roads in a wood.
