"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 I had to perish twice ... To know that for destruction ice, is also great and would suffice," Robert Frost. What was he thinking when he wrote that? What was he feeling? Hmm?
