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 could    And both that morning equally lay
To where it bent in the undergrowth.     In leaves no step had trodden black.
                                         Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Then took the other, as just as fair,    Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
And having perhaps the better claim,     I doubted if I should ever come back.
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there     I shall be telling this with a sigh
Had worn them really about the same.     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.

I’m Nobody, Who Are You?

             Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill'd with the foolish,
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)
    Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew'd,
       Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me,
   Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined, The question,
               O me! so sad, recurring--What good amid these, O me, O life?
                                            Answer.

              That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.

Langston Hughes
• Born February 1, 1902 in Joplin,
  Missouri.
• His father divorced his mother
  and moved to Mexico when
  Hughes was just a baby. He was
  raised by his mother and
  grandmother, but after high
  school he went to Mexico to get
  to know his father for the first
  time. He was disgusted when he
  found that his father was
  obsessed with money and more
  racist than most white men
  Hughes had ever known.
Langston Hughes
       •   He went to Columbia University
           for a year, but then he decided
           that he wanted to learn from the
           world rather than books. He quit
           college, hopped a boat to Africa,
           and as soon as the boat left New
           York Harbor, he threw all his
           college books overboard. He
           took odd jobs on ships and made
           his way from Africa to France,
           Holland, Italy, and finally back
           to the United States.
Langston Hughes
• He got a job working as a
  busboy in a Washington, D.C.,
  hotel, and one day he left three
  poems he had written next to the
  plate of the poet Vachel
  Lindsey. Lindsey loved them
  and read them to an audience the
  very next day. Within a few
  years, Hughes had published his
  first book of poetry, The Weary
  Blues (1926).
Langston Hughes
       •   He got involved in the Harlem
           Renaissance and started to write
           poetry influenced by the music he
           heard in jazz and blues clubs.
       •   Hughes was one of the first African-
           American poets to embrace the
           language of lower-class black
           Americans.
Langston Hughes
 Dream Deferred
 What happens to a dream deferred?

          Does it dry up
      Like a raisin in the sun?

       Or fester like a sore--
          And then run?

   Does it stink like rotten meat?
     Or crust and sugar over--
       like a syrupy sweet?

         Maybe it just sags
         like a heavy load.

        Or does it explode?
