上車的客人都急著要他趕路他卻 嘟噥訴說兒子的死亡。於是 客人就產生了 六七種不同的反應，大多數要他閉嘴。快趕路。甚至有人用 皮靴踢他 罵他糟老頭。只有一兩個表示關心 問了情況，不過 仍很快忘了有這回事。

人總是健忘，尤其對別人的事。

故事不花俏，研究生會重視 是因為這小小說說的是 內心世界。呈現了心境。

老車夫在大雪中 送完客人 最後回到他簡陋的房子，牽著 馬匹入馬廄 他說:

「這世界上，只有你聽到我的話之後，還有一點同情的樣子。」

契科夫用他悲憫的眼睛來看別人對他人悲傷的反應。

另一首年年入選的詩，是弗洛斯特( R Frost ) 的 “ The Road Not Taken”。他說:

我曾面臨兩條路，兩條路長得一個樣子，路旁都有豐美的草，我實在不知該走哪一條路，最後，我走了人煙比較稀少的那條路，以為哪天可以再回頭看看另一條路，誰知道我一直走下去，road leads to roads，我再也沒有回頭的機會，就這麼走了一生。這首詩似乎反映了年輕人立定志向時內心所產生的戰慄: 立志前不知該選哪條路，立志後又恐怕選錯了路。這思索中就有情操有境界。( 摘自霧漸漸散的時候　　　九歌文庫　507 Ｐ120--121 )

備註:

The Road Not Taken     by ROBERT FROST

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 kept 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.
