"fire and ice" is one of robert frost's most popular poems. it was published in december 1920 in harper's magazine and in 1923 in his pulitzer prize−winning book new hampshire. it discusses the end of the world, likening the elemental force of fire with the emotion of desire, and ice with hate.

c. the power of desire is greater than the power of hate.

since a simile compares two unlike things using like or as, it kind of gives an item the ability to do something it can't.

in this sentence, the simile conveys the idea that the player was fast and strong, like a tiger.

c. "but thy eternal summer shall not fade" (line 9)
