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.

answer to misunderstood Written by aneisis mejia on 2009-02-04 19:45:20 IP: the reason it is a love poem is because he is comparing love and passion and desire to the fire. and he believes the world would end happily in a sense. if u still dont understand email me at
what? Written by sam on 2008-08-21 17:59:26 IP: how is this even remotely considered a love poem? Frost is a wonderful poet, but this has been clearly misunderstood.
trying to understand Written by jessica<3 on 2008-06-09 17:56:22 IP: he wrote this during the time of the war so i beileve that he thinks that the war will either end with everyone getting along(fire/compermization) or end in tragety with everyone dieing(ice/crulety).

sigh Written by Guest on 2006-03-21 13:37:55 IP: People argue whether earth is going to be distroyed by fire or by ice, I think according to the scriptures. In the poem he is saying that he has felt the passion and heat of desire, and is compairing that to the symbolized fire, and he can truley see how that would be able to compleatly consume the world, but then he has also felt the freezing cold sting of someone's hate, and he could see how that could also be just as consumeing as desire.
