Fire and Ice

User Rating:

8.8 /10

  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 say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Robert Frost

a reality
a truth
this poem
is rooted
that can
never be denied

Wow i agree with fire. because as my bf told me love will never die because heat itself is to powerful to be beat

Also, If you think of fire metaphorically representing the religious and the coming of the lord and the events that are supposedly going to take place. And Ice representing the scientific community, the big bang theory, and the events that are supposedly going to be taking place....
I think he wanted to make a point about the different predictions of the fate of our world by both contrasting parties.

Fire would represent passion and uncontrolled appetite
while ice would stand for coldness of the heart...

A truly original poem.
Frost locates fire and ice in his sensory experience.
He parallels both with our emotional states, cojoining inner and outer with the greatest possible simplicity of expression.
