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 

    火與冰

    有人說世界將結束于熊熊烈焰，

    有人則說結束于凜凜寒冰。

    欲望如火，體會其烈，

    則知世之歸于火為我所愿。

    但若其必兩度遭逢毀滅，

    我知恨之極至，

    必然明了，毀滅之冰，

    同樣魁偉，

    同樣順人心意。
