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.
~Robert Frost

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—  I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

~Robert Frost
