I can rarely think of Bob Frost, or Walt Whitman, without recalling Roberto Benigni's character in Down By Law. Having been fortunate enough to have hiked around Robert Frost country, this poem has both a literal and metaphorical resonance for me. It can be read as a glass-half-empty or glass-half-full poem (is the sigh of regret or contentment?) but either way it is the road not taken that gets the title spot.
