Rating: 3.6

My love is like to ice, and I to fire:
How comes it then that this her cold so great
Is not dissolved through my so hot desire,
But harder grows the more I her entreat?

I love this poem so much. It reminds me of me and my boyfriend. Our love for each other is so mad, crazy, we r happy together, but also hurting. But apart we are hurting even more. He always says to me Brianna, you are like fire, and i'm like ice, we are mad crazy in love, but are the opposite of each other.

A lover and his muse are akin to fire and ice giving a new meaning to a hide and seek relationship. Following lines sum up all: That fire, which all things melts, should harden ice, And ice, which is congeal'd with senseless cold, Should kindle fire by wonderful device?

Great poem, Edmund. You have beautifully put across the emotional distance between two hearts in the game of love. Thanks and regards.

She never loved him but he wouldn't give up until she married him but she still didn't love him and he loved her too much but she was a tyrant to him was what he said somewhere else during my research but I can't find it now. Saw his grave last week in Westminster Abbey, hidden behind stacks of chairs, not a great way to treat one of our greatest poets.

a good and educational poem! 1. During the process of living, when one takes the heat from the heart of another object to be hot, it is naturally possible one to be frozen and the other to be extremely hot.2. so to maintain the temperature of love, people must learn to respect their better half.. Otherwise, we have to write a poem as this poet! any way this poem is beautiful! Thank you for sharing, Late! Edmund Spencer
