The Williams School works with each child to build and enduring
foundation for academic, moral and social success. A Williams School
student embodies integrity, confidence and a love of learning.
Dear Williams School Families,
Robert Frost is one of my favorite poets. I thought I would share what is probably one of his most famous poems from 1916s
Mountain Interval. Its genesis was stated by the author back in August of 1953:
"One stanza of 'The Road Not Taken' was written while I was sitting on a sofa in the middle of England: was found three or four
years later, and I couldn't bear not to finish it. I wasn't thinking about myself there, but about a friend who had gone off to war,
a person who, whichever road he went, would be sorry he didn't go the other. He was hard on himself that way."
Bread Loaf Writers' Conference August 1953
While I am not going off to war, nor do I have any regrets at all, I can relate to being hard on yourself and others and believe
that the paths we take in life truly do make all the difference.
The Road Not Taken
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 couldTo 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.
As you leave for a long weekend, please remember all those who chose a road less traveled by most Americans- Those men andwomen who are currently serving in our armed forces, those who have served in our armed forces, and those who made the
ultimate sacrifice so that we may enjoy the freedoms that we so often take for granted.
Best,
Jay
