Otra bestia de la literatura norteamericana, Robert Frost, escribió allá por 1915 uno de mis poemas favoritos, que mucho tiene que ver con tu cita de Salter, según me parece. Espero sea de vuestro agrado. Ahí va:
ResponderEliminarTHE 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, 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 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.
Por suerte, la bifurcación de Frost se repite todos los días, lo que hace la paradoja de Salter más vivible, no?

Me encantó. Algo así como mi frase "la vida es una sucesión infinita de decisiones..."
ResponderEliminarSiempre que decidamos algo, estamos renunciando a otra cosa, a cada momento...
besos,
me encantan tus posts
Excelente!!!
ResponderEliminarPAC: muy bueno, indeed. Ahora veo que sobreestima el sistema del calendario. Creo que es posible ver la bifurcación a cada instante, sin que sea necesario esperar 24 hs.
ResponderEliminarMarietta: da un poco de vértigo, no? Gracias por tu comentario!
Crai: librazo. Totalmente recomendado.
