When I think about the end of the world, the apocalypse, Robert Frost comes to mind. His poem, "Fire and Ice" has been one of my favorites since the first time that I read it in 5th grade. It reads as follows:
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 say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
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.
After reading the last chapter of Ovid the idea of no end but merely change appeals to me more than destruction ice or fire the Frost's words still echo in my head.
