“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 twiceI think I know enough of hateTo say that for destruction iceIs also greatAnd would suffice.”

American poet and educator of the early-to-mid 20th century, Frost is best known for his rural New England settings and precise, often ironic verse. His work explores themes of isolation, nature, and human struggle, with collections like *A Boy’s Will* and *North of Boston* cementing his reputation.
