Fire to my ice. Ice to my fever.

“And yet I strove — and I was fire
And ice — and fire and ice were one
In one vast hunger of desire.”
Stephen Vincent Benét (1898–1943) poet, short story writer, novelist
Young Adventure (1918), The Quality of Courage
Context: p>The iron ice stung like a goad,
Slashing the torn shoes from my feet,
And all the air was bitter sleet. And all the land was cramped with snow,
Steel-strong and fierce and glimmering wan,
Like pale plains of obsidian.
— And yet I strove — and I was fire
And ice — and fire and ice were one
In one vast hunger of desire.</p

“A poet of my kind
Skates on the thinnest ice.”

“Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.”
"Fire and Ice" (1923)
General sources
Context: 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.
“behind the mask of ice that people wear, there beats a heart of fire.”

“My God, if I had a heart, I would write my hate on ice, and wait for the sun to show.”
