Poetry Solace: Of fire, ice and gold..

This week, let's check out a couple of poems from Robert Frost, a 4-time winner of Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.. One of his "more famous" poems would be The Road Not Taken...

These 2 poems that I've here was published in New Hampshire, his 1923 Pulitzer Prize-winning volume of poems.


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 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.

Nothing Gold can Stay
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day
Nothing gold can stay. 




Have a great weekend, folks!
