FIRE AND ICE

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 it had to perish twice,

 

I think I know enough of hate

 

To know that for destruction ice

 

Is also great

 

And would suffice.

 

(Robert Frost lived from 1874 to 1963.. He lived and taught for many years in Massachusetts and Vermont.)
