Robert Frost...not just the guy who wrote the poem at the beginning of Eclipse(Fire and Ice)

By Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
"A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool."- William Shakespeare

Diverging ways - hard decisions.
Heads or tails?
Left or Right?
Will it be the best way?
...no one knows...but you have to go you own way.
