I love this poem. Don't know why.

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.

-Robert Frost

Can't help it, but I can't see why all those people say Robert Frost is a great poet <.<
>.>

To me, it's mainly old philoschmofical rhetorics used a thousand times before in Dr.Seuss-level rhyming and meter... and that best line of him, quoted out of context everywhere, does not actually say in the poem anything about it being positive or negative. >.<

*hides*

You don't need to hide. We are all entitled to our opinions. I happen to like Robert Frost, and Edgar Allen Poe, and yes, even the Harry Potter books, which I happen to know you are not a fan of, to say the least. Doesn't mean you're not allowed to NOT like them.

The first poem I ever had to memorize for school or anything else was "Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost. That was 10 years ago and I remember it still.

I memorized the Road Not Taken when I made a calligraphy of it.

And the Road Not Taken was exactly the one I was referring to.

Honestly, it says "And that has made all the difference" but does it say the difference was good or bad? No. And I hate it when people/media try to make me believe this is the One and Only Valid Interpretation... but that's just me ;)

I like Poe too, though. ^^;

But that's the beauty of it; it leaves the good or bad up to you.
