Poem 9

Fire and Ice

Related Poem Content Details

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.

Does the speaker seem optimistic or pessimistic? Why?
What are possible other elements that could bea s destructive as fire and ice?
