Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if I 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

I say this poem all the time out loud. For some reason, I decided to learn it one day. I babble it whenever I'm bored.
I love it; Robert Frost is the man!
Indeed.
I think desire certainly leads towards fire. Anyway, I don't like the cold.

I hadn't read this poem in years. Thanks for the reminder. Since childhood, I've loved Frost's work.
Frost always had a way with the words, and this just proves it more and more. Thanks for reminding me of a favorite author's work.
Probably the most straightforward poem Frost ever wrote. *g*
