Robert Frost (March 26, 1874 – January 29, 1963 / San Francisco)

The first time I read this poem was in my very old, very worn copy of eclipse from the twilight saga, and for some unexplainable reason it made me feel.... like I belonged, ever since it was my favourite poem and I hope that some day I will be able to write as good poems with as much meaning and soul.

The poem was great and I love the meaning behind it.

Most definitely an all-time favorite. The poem, though short, is able to convey two ideas of complete contrast while giving each its own personality, definition and importance; an excellent example of antithesis. Bringing icy-hot hate and passion to a new level.

can anyone tell me what the poem means, thank you

Rant and rave at close of day or simply freeze away when passion dies.Could be about a relationship.I have though my world had ended once or twice.

this poem can have so many meanings the fire could be war and hate and the ice simply lethargy and uncorcern about every single problem in the world

Such a short poem that delivers a vivid sketch of what our future may turn out to be: which side are you on?

My all time fav this poem right here. Short yet so vast and meaningful; simply amazing.

I like some of his poems but this is just not that great in my opinion. The conent does not get me to think, laugh, or feel anything except that he talks about the end with no purpose and is probably depressed when he writes this, or better yet, annoyed like he just doesn't care about the end of the world and writes this for people who do in a way to mock them for their disagreements about how it might take place. I don't really see this as an inspirational work of art like the Road Less Traveled was. There is the kind of art one creates to vent, then the kind one uses for touching the heart and mind of others, and even society at large. This is none of those things.
