Two Roads, Less Traveled, and Robert Frost

“Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both …

I shall tell this with a sigh

Somewhere ages hence …

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.”

War, Battles, Memorial Day, and Mark Helprin

“There’s nothing to tell about a war

unless you tell how it began …

When you get older,

battles of any sort

become far less interesting

and what they brought about.

I know, I know.

I have three hooves

in the pasture

and one already in the grave …”

“A Soldier Of The Great War,”  Mark Helprin, p. 36
