Now I'm here and then I'm gone.​

Answer 1

The lines are taken from one of Frost's early poems, Fire and Ice where the poet considers the age-old question of whether the world will end in fire or in ice. This is similar to another age-old question: whether it would be preferable to freeze to death or burn to death. The poet determines that either option would achieve its purpose sufficiently well although he would favour fire over ice.
