"while desire certainly has the power to end the world, his experiences have led him to believe that it is in the chill might of hate that the end times will be found."

so... err...

did the person who wrote the article even read the poem? : )

"From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire" ?

Yeah, I'd say that he's more expressing that, while he believes that desire will end the world, hate would work as well. Sir Elderberry 15:53, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] poem shape

I removed this:

"Some scholars have pointed out that the poem's shape can appear like dangling icicles if viewed one way, and like the flames of fire if viewed the other."

This is true of 95% of poems, since they are generally left aligned with some lines longer than others. Feel free to put this back in if you can link to an article where an actual scholar really does point this out. It's been tagged as unsourced for two weeks. 96.233.71.33 12:24, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] question

how can this be a 1923 pullitzer price winning piece when it was written in 1964? -72.192.95.28 05:29, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Where does it say this in the article? (or where has it said this) SmileToday☺(talk to me , My edits) 00:02, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
