Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken : Critical evaluation

-
Robert Frost’s famous poem The Road Not Taken was first written in 1916 and published in the collection ‘Mountain Intervals’ and published along with   Stopping by the woods on a Snowy Evening . The poem is a statement on the choice that one has to make in the journey of life and how that influences the possible outcome of life. The poem is about the possibilities and opportunities that come in a man’s life, the opportunities that come and that go. It is a onetime choice, a choice that is sometimes impossible to retreat, and a lot about decision making and its influence in life. Critics have defined the poem as both positive and negative.

The Good Morrow : A Reading

The Good-Morrow BY  JOHN DONNE I wonder, by my troth, what thou and I Did, till we loved? Were we not weaned till then? But sucked on country pleasures, childishly? Or snorted we in the Seven Sleepers’ den? ’Twas so; but this, all pleasures fancies be. If ever any beauty I did see, Which I desired, and got, ’twas but a dream of thee. And now good-morrow to our waking souls, Which watch not one another out of fear; For love, all love of other sights controls, And makes one little room an everywhere. Let sea-discoverers to new worlds have gone, Let maps to other, worlds on worlds have shown, Let us possess one world, each hath one, and is one. My face in thine eye, thine in mine appears, And true plain hearts do in the faces rest; Where can we find two better hemispheres, Without sharp north, without declining west? Whatever dies, was not mixed equally; If our two loves be one, or, thou and I Love so alike, that none do slacken, none can
