Fire and Ice

          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 poem "Fire and Ice" is written by Robert Frost. It is all about the poet's own thinking about how probably the Earth would be destroyed. The Indian oriental myth and the western myth both suggest that there would be the end of this earth. In this poem poet describe that earth would be destroyed by Fire and Ice.
 
   The Indian oriental myth suggests that the earth would be destroyed because of water and the western Christian myth suggest that the earth would be destroyed because of fire. This we find in the first stanza of poem.

 Some say the world will 
 end in fire  some say in ice.

    Some people are of the opinion that the earth would be destroyed because of fire while some others think that the earth would be destroyed because of ice-water. The poet has made study about desire of the people on the basis of that study the poet comes to a conclusion that the earth would be destroyed because of the fire of never ending desires.

       It is not just it because symbolically poet connects desire with fire and hatred with ice. These two words used as metaphorical.  So now if we think deeply that how it will end? So, now it is about humanity that in our human beings how we ends? If we have many desires so it will end of the person. If we are hatred of human then also it will end. So, everything too much is not good for anybody. So once again it is about deeply philosophically.


Thank you.
