In the days following the death of PM Jawaharlal Nehru, his daughter, Indira, chanced upon a small notepad in his bedside table in which he had scrawled the following lines in his own shaky hand:
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
This is the last stanza of the famous poem by Robert Frost entitled, Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.
This discovery made it into the media and created a mild flutter with editorials interpreting these lines to indicate that Nehru believed that he still had a lot of work ahead of him.
