1984 poem

The poem I chose was Fire and Ice by Robert Frost

Original version: 

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 know that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice.

Newspeak version:

Persons speak the world will end in doubleplusun-cold;

Persons speak in cold rock

From what I have feeled of wanting

I hold with those who want more doubleplusun-cold.

But if it had to fall second time,

I think I know un-bad amount of un-love

To know that for double-break cold rock

Is also un-bad

And would do.
