FIRE AND ICE (Robert Frost) (Mĩ) (1920)

- Chủ đề: matter of earth’s destruction and the ending. Hatred and power of
emotions are the major themes of the poem.

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. (Assonace) (Alliteration)
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” is the symbol of desires and “Ice” symbolizes hatred (hận thù)
Personification: “Fire” and “Ice” are capable of destruction

I wandered lonely as a cloud (simile) (consonance) symbol

That floats on high o’er vales and hills, 
When all at once I saw a crow 
A host, of golden daffodils; (assonance) symbol xinh đẹp, niềm vui
đơn thuần
Beside the lake, beneath the trees, (alliteration)
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. (personification)
Continuous as the stars that shine  (simile)
And twinkle on the milky way, (từ tượng thanh)
They stretched in never-ending line 
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,  (hyperbole)
Tossing (personification) their heads in sprightly dance. 
The waves beside them danced; but they (những bông hoa thủy tiên

Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:  (imperfect)
A poet could not but be gay, 
In such a jocund company: 
I gazed–and gazed–but little thought (repetition)
What wealth the show to me had brought: (alliteration)
For oft, when on my couch I lie 
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye 
Which is the bliss of solitude; 
And then my heart with pleasure fills, 
And dances with the daffodils.(hình ảnh trái tim của tác giả nhảy

When I was one-and-twenty (repetition)

       I heard a wise man say,
“Give crowns and pounds and guineas (assonance) (consonace)
       But not your heart away;
Give pearls away and rubies
       But keep your fancy free.” (alliteration) (ee assonance)
But I was one-and-twenty,
       No use to talk to me. (alliteration)

When I was one-and-twenty (repetition) (which has created a musical

quality in the poem.)
       I heard him say again, (alliteration)
“The heart out of the bosom
       Was never given in vain;
’Tis paid with sighs a plenty
       And sold for endless rue.”
And I am two-and-twenty,
       And oh, ’tis true, ’tis true. (repetition)

That bears the Human Soul – (personification)
