Fire and Ice

Fire and Ice
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 know that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

[SHATOUSHKA]

i've always liked the sublime connotations of this piece.
the distinct contemplation and ultimate lack
of an absolute answer is significant to anyone, methinks.

another half-full, half-empty analogy.

which do you choose? (a question for all)

[Alex]

I favor ice. I believe that eventually, ice melts, and turns into the staff of life, water. Where as fire turns into complete nothingness.

[SHATOUSHKA]

its ironic that you picked ice...

ice was the pessimistic choice.

Who sez?

[SHATOUSHKA]

did you actually read the piece?
