Answer:
1. Poet said these lines because according to the poet if the world is not destroyed completely from fire means human desire or lust, then earth is destroyed by the ice. It means by hatred of people. So, in this way the world would perish twice.
2.According to the poet, the world will end due to the 'fire', which symbolises desire. But if the world had to end twice then it will be due to the hatred symbolised by 'ice'. The poet feels that there is enough hatred in the world that is spreading among the people. This hatred will end the world one day.
3. The poet favours fire because he doesn't want hatred towards any other human being and desire is much better than hatred, that's why poet favours fire rather than ice.
