Fire and Ice
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if I had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
—Robert Frost
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I can’t believe it won’t be fire.
There’s flaming malice all around,
People burning people down.
Don’t make me have to perish twice
To see that after fires bright
There will be nothing left but ice.
—Connor
