The Wayfarer Poem by Stephen Crane

The Wayfarer

Rating: 2.8


The wayfarer,
Perceiving the pathway to truth,
Was struck with astonishment.
It was thickly grown with weeds.
"Ha," he said,
"I see that none has passed here
In a long time."
Later he saw that each weed
Was a singular knife.
"Well," he mumbled at last,
"Doubtless there are other roads."

The poem is cynical, yes, but far more meaningful than “The Road Not Taken.“

Ha! Humor. Mumbles, humor Agree with you Peter, more meaningful. Crane has a way with thought/words/actions From CBT: Thought, emotion, thought, behavior...
