Question

What does the poet meant by "Oh, I kept the first for another day!"​ for writing an appreciation

Answer 1

Explanation:

Oh, I kept the first for another day!" is his excuse to himself for not thinking the situation over more deeply and taking the other path, since it is clear from the ending of the poem that the poet regrets the way he has chosen to go.

He's saying that this decision will lead to something else which will lead to yet another thing, and he'll probably never find himself in a situation where he can come back and try that other road.
