Why does the poet 'keep the first for another day' ? What does he doubt and why?
Answers
Answer:
he kept the 1st road for some other day as he wanted to travel the road that was not very frequently used, he wanted to take the risk and challenge and hence decided to take 2nd road. knowing that one road leads on to another, he doubted if he'll ever come back.
He doubted on whether he would be able to come on first road after that because it is a fact of human life.
Answer:
The poet mean that he will use the other road at any other time. The poet questioned whether he would ever be able to return and take the original route.
Explanation:
In the poem, “The Road Not Taken”, the poet Robert Frost has two choice of roads in front of him.
He has to select between the roads, in which one of the road is frequently used, while the alternative road is less travelled road. The poet had chosen the road of less travelled route and wondered if one day he would return and travel by the first one. In the expectation that he would take it later, the poet decided to save the first path for another day. But all know that our future is uncertain.
This is what the poet means when he says to leave the first road to travel for another day.
