<<timed 1.5s t8n>>Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, <</timed>> <<timed 3s t8n>>And sorry I could not travel both <</timed>> <<timed 4.5s t8n>>And be one traveler, long I stood <</timed>> <<timed 6s t8n>>And looked down both as far as I could <</timed>> <<timed 8s t8n>>[[To where they bent in the undergrowth;|choice]]<</timed>>

<<set $path to "first">> <<timed 1.5s t8n>>I saw the path I took unfold<</timed>> <<timed 3s t8n>>and bear the signs of travel<</timed>> <<timed 4.5s t8n>>as though it was a highway old<</timed>> <<timed 6s t8n>>on which my trip was long foretold<</timed>> <<timed 8s t8n>>[[upon this ancient channel|firstpath2]]<</timed>>

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.
