For example, in the poem "The Road Not Taken," by Robert Frost, the author does not directly state that the speaker is choosing a path that is less traveled. However, the reader can infer this from the speaker's description of the path as "the one less traveled by," and from the fact that the speaker says he will "tell it with a sigh / Somewhere ages and ages hence." The implicit meaning of this poem is that the speaker is making a choice that is not easy, but that he believes is the right choice for him.
Implicit meaning can be difficult to identify, especially for readers who are not familiar with the author's culture or background. However, by paying close attention to the text and by using their knowledge and understanding of the world, readers can often infer the implicit meaning of a text.
