Poem

"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.

The photo you see on the right is a "fire and ice" rose. Just thought it was appropriate for the name of the poem. As for this poem concordance with the literary theories i thought as interesting, it doesn't necessarily go along with the feministic point of view. Unless if one were to take a longshot to say that metaphors used for "fire" and "ice" represent the two distinct views men have towards women. In concordance with the Religion theory, as i said before, fire and ice are two forms in which the world will end - in volcanic fire or in another ice age.
