– Robert Frost
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favour 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.
Fire and Ice

Frost obviously knows some psychology: I like the way he moves from a commonplace saying to an insight into human nature. It somehow avoids being hackneyed.
