"Vair" is a word in ENGLISH
The skin of the squirrel, much used in the fourteenth century
as fur for garments, and frequently mentioned by writers of that period
in describing the costly dresses of kings, nobles, and prelates. It is
represented in heraldry by a series of small shields placed close
together, and alternately white and blue.
The Road Not TakenTwo 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.
