William Shakespeare 

Romeo and Juliet Act III scene ii

Come, gentle night; come, loving, black-browed night;
Give me my Romeo; and, when I shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night.

Which are the children of an idle brain,
Begot of nothing but vain fantasy.

And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.

Fire & ice (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 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.
