(UNICAMP - 2011) 

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.


 Robert Frost (1874-1963)

(Retirado de A pocket book of Robert Frost’s poems. New York: Washington Square Press, 1966, p. 242.)

a) Explicite a comparação que o poema faz entre elementos da natureza e sentimentos humanos.

b) Como o eu poético sabe que esses sentimentos são destrutivos?
