Focus on a poem - Fire and Ice by Robert Frost : The Poetry Foundation

One of my all time favourites. A thoughtful, reflective poem about the terrible power of isolation, destructive emotion and absence of love.  Understated elegance and a quiet, powerful voice amidst the shrieking and drama of our times. 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.
