Robert Frost
Robert Frost was born on March 26, 1874, San Francisco. This is
the place where his parent had moved from Pennsylvania after
being married. His father died of tuberculosis. After the death of his
father he with his mother lodged in Massachusetts. When he was
admitted to Lawrence he showed keen interest in poetry and writing.
He also took admission in Harvard University and other reputed
institutes but despite of visiting all these institute he could not
acquire a formal degree. When he left the school he adopted many
professions one after another. At one time he was a school teacher
and at another he was a cobbler and he also worked as an editor in
Lawrence Sentinel. His first poem Butterfly appeared on The
Independence. 1895 was the year which proved a fortunate year for
Frost as he married his inspirational icon Elinor. Both of them moved
to England in 1912. There in New Hampshire they tried their luck in
forming but they failed badly. This was the occasion when Robert
met his contemporaries like; Edward Thomas, Robert Graves, and

“Fire and Ice” by: Robert Frost
INTRODUCTION
Robert Frost’s poem “Fire and Ice” expresses the
profound idea that the world would end in either
of two ways, either by ice or fire.
Both the components are compared with self-

The poem, very artistically, underpins the
philosophy that we let our emotions rule us and if

ice, both are just as competent in bringing the
world to a catastrophic end
CONCLUSION
In this poem, the poet expresses the
two ways in which the world may
end. Some people say that the
world will end by Fire while others
say that it will end by Ice.
The poet says that he is aware
about the “fiery desires” of human
emotions, so he will favor those
