  Poem :- Fire and Ice 

                        By:- Robert Frost

In this poem the poet refers to two predictions of how the world will end. Some say it will end in fire and some say it will end in ice. According to the poet 'fire' stands for Desire,greed. One becomes selfish and cruel . On the other hand 'Ice' stands for hatred. One becomes insensitive.  The poet thinks that he has tasted the fire of 'desire' . It will surely end the world. But the poet says if the world will end twice. Then it will end due  ice. Or it will end due to hatred. The poet feels  that hatred is spreading much among the people of the world. It is a very sad thing. This shall end the world one day.

इस कविता में कवि दो भविष्यवाणियों का उल्लेख करता है कि दुनिया का अंत कैसे होगा। कुछ कहते हैं कि यह आग में समाप्त हो जाएगा और कुछ कहते हैं कि यह बर्फ में समाप्त हो जाएगा। कवि के अनुसार 'अग्नि' का अर्थ है कामना, लोभ। व्यक्ति स्वार्थी और क्रूर हो जाता है। दूसरी ओर 'बर्फ' घृणा का प्रतीक है। व्यक्ति असंवेदनशील हो जाता है। कवि सोचता है कि उसने 'इच्छा' की आग का स्वाद चखा है। यह निश्चित रूप से दुनिया को खत्म कर देगा। लेकिन कवि कहता है कि अगर दुनिया को बार खत्म होना है। तो यह बर्फ के कारण खत्म हो जाएगा। या यह नफरत के कारण खत्म हो जाएगा। कवि को लगता है कि दुनिया के लोगों में नफरत बहुत फैल रही है। बड़े दुःख की बात है। यह एक दिन दुनिया का अंत कर देगा।
