回帖：But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep......(Robert Frost -Poet)

I must say thank you to "all of you" who are so friendly, generous, supportive, patient, and pour out your "hearts".......to allow a Chinese computer idiot, a fool to participate here in the forum, particularly the many wonderful and sweet "translators".

Therefore, I have "borrowed" a bouquet of foreign flowers to pay respect to our "Buddhas" in China.

Poems by Robert Frost -- American Poet, buddy and good friendof the Chinese poets such as Li Bei and Wang Wei.

Poem number 1

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And worry I could not travel both,

And be one traveler, long I stood

And look 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 people 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.

Poem 2

STOPPIN BY WOODS ON A SNOWY EVENING

Whose woods these are I think I know.

His house is in the village though;

He will not see me stopping here

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer

To stop without a farmhouse near

Between the woods and frozen lake

The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake

To ask if there is some mistake.

The only other sound's the sweep

of easy wind and downy flake.

The wood are lovely, dark and deep.

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.
