diverged: tiled vaulted ceiling Municipal Building, New York City.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

-- Robert Frost: from The Road Not Taken (1915)

Guastavino tiled, vaulted ceiling in the Municipal Building (maybe you will get married here), New York City, 1914.

The lines of the tiles made me think of the poem. I like that they, the poem and the ceiling, are of roughly the same vintage, although its a pretty meaningless coincidence.
