About the Poem

About the Poem 'Fire and Ice' is a short poem by Robert Frost.  In this poem , the poet refers to two predictions , of how the world will end .  Some say it will end in fire whereas others say it will end in ice According to the poet ' Fire stands for desire , greed , avarice or lust .  The more you try to satisfy them the more they grow There is no end to it The poet tried to bring the differences between the fire and ice , which represent two different kinds of people . According to the poet , the world can perish by fire and also by ice . Thus it can perish twice - one by fire and then by ice . The poet feels that the ice of hatred is as powerful as the fire of desire to bring complete end of this world .      


Some say the world will end in fire 
Some say in ice , 
From what I've tasted of desire 
I hold with those who favour fire .
 (कवि के अनुसार संसार के अन्त के विषय में दो प्रचलित हैं । )कुछ लोग कहते हैं कि संसार का अन्त आग (here fire is metaphor of desire) से  होगा और कुछ का मानना है कि हिम संसार का नष्ट करेगा। लेकिन  जितना मैं इच्छा(जिसको कवि आग मानता है) के बारे मे मे जानता हूँ मैं उन लोगों के साथ खड़ा हूँ जो आग के पक्ष मे हैं अर्थात जो  कहते हैं कि दुनिया आग से नष्ट होगी। 


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 .

लेकिन अगर संसार को दो बार नष्ट होना हो तो मेरे विचार से मैं जनता हूँ घृणा प्र्याप्त है अर्थात संसार को नष्ट करने के लिए घृणा भी काफी है और अगर विनाश के बारे मे कहे तो हिम (here ice is metaphor of hate)  भी काफी बड़ी चीज़ है और विनाश के लिए प्र्यप्त है।  अर्थात तीव्र इच्छा भी  भाँति घृणा भी संसार को नष्ट कर सकती है ।
