Okay, so I have a set of questions to answer on this poem, "Fire and Ice" by 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.

And here is one question:  Who are "Some" (1-2)? To which two theories do lines 1-2 refer? (In answering, it might help you to know that the poem was published in 1920)

the the little "hint" the question gave is throwing me off about the first part.  At first, I thought it was two religious groups, but now I'm thinking it has something to do with WWI?
