Fire and Ice
by Robert Frost
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.
[Today, my money is on "fire."]
*August, 2021 update
I'm going to rule out ice. The way things are going, it'll be fire.
Or flood, earthquakes, pestilence, war...
