On the anniversary of 9/11, I'd like to share a poem by Robert Frost:
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 know that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
It was first printed in Harper's Magazine, in December of 1920.

Wow, I haven't thought of that poem in a long time. Excellent choice.
Beautiful choice. Thank you for this post.
hmmmmm....
time, as described in art, is immortal...
and, well, we (humans) have such a sad "habit" of repeating ourselves
so, very good poem in a very sad way
Thank you.

Thanks for sharing the poem (and the photo). We need this reminder no matter how painful it is to view those images.
