Endings and Apocalypse

"This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper."
-T.S. Eliot, "The Hollow Man"

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.
-Robert Frost, "Fire and Ice"

"All good things must come to an end."
Proverb
