Serious chess. Serious fun!


Who can forget the lines “And miles to go before i sleep,And miles to go before i sleep”

Yes! The poem of Robert (Lee) Frost (March 26, 1874 – January 29, 1963) four-time Pulitzer Prize winning American poet, teacher and lecturer wrote many popular and oft-quoted poems including “After Apple-Picking”, “The Road Not Taken”, “Home Burial” and “Mending Wall”.

I love many of his poems and interested to post one of his fabulous poem in my blog.

I have heard that Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, a pivotal figure in the Indian independence and the first Prime Minister of Independent India, used the last line of the poem on his table.

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.
