The Fire stands for passion and people acting towards each other - being very agressive. Ice means people being hostile to each other, also cold to others feelings, kind of not caring at all. What Robert Frost meant to say was that a lot of people suppose the agressive behaviour will be the end (wars, etc.) but it actually only takes people not giving a damn about each other.

P.S. atom/nuclear bombs were not around in 1923 so it cant be that at all.

Thanks for your remark.
No, you're right, of course atomic bombs were not contemplated until the late 1930's.
However the idea of the world ending through a great and fiery war was very common in this age of the Wasteland following the Great War.
Note Eliot's image on post-war Europe from 1925 This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper.
