"Some say the world will end in fire,……" — 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 favour 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."
