Fire and Iceby Robert Frost
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 say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
So fire or ice?
Unlike Robert Frost, I believe if you truly wish to destroy a relationship, an end by ice is the most final and painful way to go. I don't agree that hate would be an icy attribute though, if I read it right.
It's indifference.
The icy floes of indifference extinguish even the fiercest fires of passion, the wildest conflagrations of love, and the most malicious of hate sparks.
