Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep
- Robert Frost
The Lines that kept me going:
I first read this poem in literature class, and something in it stayed with me.
To me, these lines are not only about the beauty of the woods, but about the quiet strength it takes to continue. The traveller pauses. The woods are lovely, dark and deep. There is comfort in stopping, in resting, in being drawn away. And yet, he chooses to move on because there are promises to keep.
Years later, after leaving school, entering college, and facing my own share of failures and setbacks, this stanza became a source of courage for me. In the early days of starting my business, these words often returned to me. I would recite them to myself, and sometimes to others, and they gave me the encouragement to keep going. I do not read the poem as often now, but it did its part when I needed it most.
This bookmark is my quiet tribute to those lines, and to the countless people who have found strength in them during difficult times.
A reminder to pause, to feel, but also to continue.
— Anand Prakash
