"Fire and Ice" by Robert Frost

If you don't already know, you'll figure out soon enough that I'm a poetry fanatic. I read poetry, I write poetry, I love poetry. I was flipping through my school English book today and came across this. Robert Frost was one of my favorite poets to begin with, but this just blew me away. At the risk of being completely cliche, it spoke to me. So yeah. Enjoy his poetic genius. :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
