Question: Can anyone explain this in their own words!? Real serious answers expected!. Than q!!?
Robert Frost
Poetry


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 know that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice!.

The more you keep it simple the more it makes sense!.
Robert Frost speculates on the theories of others and does not tell us if he thinks it could happen at all, just that it it does here is his ideas!.
Love is stronger than hate and can ultimately be more severe as a weapon!. Hatred is almost as strong and can do the same amount of damage!. He understands this and he chooses love but knows that he wouldn't count out hate to do the job as well!.
and for the person who commented about this poem after reading eclipse: As weird as it may sound, Edward is fire and Jacob is ice!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com
