"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...." 'Fire and Ice', one of Robert Frost's most popular poems, was first published in December 1920 in Harper's Magazine, as well as later within his Pulitzer-prize winning book 'New Hampshire' (1923). The poem reflects on the topic of the end of the world, comparing one's insaciable lust with passionate flames, and seething hate with the ruthless cold. The poem has now become one of Frost's most esteemed, recognized, and anthologized poems. Robert Frost (1874–1964) was one of America's most popular 20th-century poets. After decades as a farmer, he decided to devote himself to his poetry. His first two books of verse, 'A Boy's Will' (1913) and 'North of Boston' (1914), were immediate successes. Frost was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for poetry four times, & also served as "Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress" in 1958. Today, he is most often remembered for his 'The Road Not Taken and Other Poems' (1916).

From one of the most brilliant and widely read of all American poets, a generous selection of lyrics, dramatic monologues, and narrative poems--all of them steeped in the wayward and isolated beauty of Frost's native New England.
