Chapter: The Road Not Taken

Answer 1

The poet promises himself that he would come back some other time and take the often travelled road, although knowing that he won't be able to keep his promise. It is because, once a decision is taken, it leads to other decisions. He knows that he will not be able to come back and change his decision.
