carefully considered his choice and reflected on how it has impacted his life. When making the
decision, the speaker also demonstrates careful consideration and reflection. He comments that
"long I stood and looked down one as far I could to where it bent in the undergrowth" and he was
"sorry I could not travel both." This demonstrates the speaker reflects upon his choice before
