How has the neem Eure and icerelevant to the present day world |
Answer» <p>One could argue that the poem's central idea is that it's largely a waste of time to speculate on how the world might end. The speaker appears to be suggesting that, whether the world comes to grief through fire or ice, it doesn't really matter. Destruction is destruction; if the world ends through fire or ice then there's absolutely nothing we can do about it, one way or the other. This is just one of those manyquestions about which we speculate to fill up our free time. Yet the speaker disposes of the question pretty quickly by drawing attention to the equally destructive capabilities of fire and ice and leaves it at that.</p><p>Although the speaker doesn't know—or care to know—how the world will end, he does know something about desire. The suggestion here is that we should concentrate on dealing with questions relating to our own conduct and behavior instead of engaging in idle speculation concerning the precise nature of the apocalypse.</p> | |
