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 know that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice. Today's poem is in the public domain. About this poem: "Fire and Ice" was first published in Harper's Magazine in 1920. Despite popular speculation, NASA reports that the world will not, in fact, end today. Poetry by Frost The Collected Poems December 21, 2012 Robert Frost was born on March 26, 1874 and his work is principally associated with the life and landscape of New England.
