2つの道に違いはない

今度も『べリキュー！』ネタ。
2008年4月5日放送分『べリキュー！』で、真野ちゃんが引用していたフロスト（Robert Frost：1874-1963）の格言は以下のもの。
「森の分かれ道では人の通らぬ道を選ぼう。すべてが変わる」


元ネタは、Robert Frost が発表した "THE ROAD NOT TAKEN" の一節（らしい）。
・Robert Frost & The New England Renaissance by George Monteiro（frostfreinds.org）
↑から引用しておく。

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
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
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.

ちなみに Frost が "THE ROAD NOT TAKEN" を作った背景には、過去の詩で使われてた表現形式 The Choice of the Two Paths" に反対する意味があるとか。
他にも例の詩を作ったことには色々背景があるみたいだが、俺には良くわからない（馬鹿）。
