~Fire and Ice~

i fell in love with this poem the first moment i read it 14 years ago.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

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.
