Fire and Ice

by Robert Frost · (no date)
Published 01/07/1880

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.
