Fire and ice

Reminded of this Frost poem by recent campaign events that alternated between trying to kill attendees by freezing them, and by steaming them.

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.
