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
This poem is one of my all time favorites. Its simplicity yet complexity creates a contrast between opposites illustrated by few. The poems simple words portraying such power of fire, ice, and hate although could be called a "cry for help" by some, but to me are a masterpiece.
