The road not taken

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, 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 marked 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.

Robert Frost

Carlos Drummond de Andrade

As sem-razões do amor
Eu te amo porque te amo.
Não precisas ser amante,
e nem sempre sabê-lo.
Eu te amo porque te amo.
Amor é estado de graça
e com amor não se paga.
Amor é dado de graça,é semeado no vento,
na cachoeira, no elipse.
Amor foge a dicionários
e a regulamentos vários.
Eu te amo porque não amo
bastante ou demais a mim.
Porque amor não se troca,
não se conjuga nem se ama.
Porque amor é amor a nada,
feliz e forte em si mesmo.
Amor é primo da morte,
e da morte vencedor,
por mais que o matem (e matam)
a cada instante de amor.
