Мир, говорят, сожрёт пожар,
Умрёт во льду.
Я отвечаю за базар
И выступаю - за пожар!
Но, если дважды быть в аду,
Есть ненависти про запас!
Скажу, для гибели во льду
Подводят нас...
Уже иду.
***
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 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.
***
Robert Frost (1874 - 1963)
