Fire and Ice

by Robert Frost, 1874–1963 

From Harper’s Magazine, December 1920

 

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.

I've been interested in trying some more abstracts, once again using color as a key element. Instead of water this time, I'm focusing on homemade colored ice sheets.
