Poem for the end of the year

[malsperanza]

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, 1920

Yeah, I know.

I'll try to find something more upbeat and perky for next week.
