Fire and Ice 

    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 [1] fire.

    But if it had to perish [2] twice,

    I think I know enough of hate

    To know that for destruction ice

    Is also great

    and would suffice 

    火与冰

    有人说世界将结束于熊熊烈焰，

    有人则说结束于凛凛寒冰。

    欲望如火，体会其烈，

    则知世之归于火为我所愿。

    但若其必两度遭逢毁灭，

    我知恨之极至，

    必然明了，毁灭之冰，

    同样魁伟，

    同样顺人心意。
