 Fire and Ice by Robert Frost

    Fire and Ice diterbitkan dalam koleksi pemenang hadiah Frost's Pulitzer, New Hampshire pada tahun 1923.

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.

 The Walrus and the Carpenter by Lewis Carroll The Walrus and the Carpenter adalah puisi naratif dari Through the Looking Glass. Puisi itu dibacakan untuk Alice oleh Tweedledee dan Tweedledum. "The sun was shining on the sea, Shining with all his might: He did his very best to make The billows smooth and bright— And this was odd, because it was The middle of the night. The moon was shining sulkily, Because she thought the sun Had got no business to be there After the day was done— 'It's very rude of him,' she said, 'To come and spoil the fun!' The sea was wet as wet could be, The sands were dry as dry. You could not see a cloud, because No cloud was in the sky: No birds were flying overhead— There were no birds to fly. The Walrus and the Carpenter Were walking close at hand; They wept like anything to see Such quantities of sand: 'If this were only cleared away,' They said, 'it would be grand!' 'If seven maids with seven mops Swept it for h...
