My first thought was why are they doing that around all those trees. And then I was like, oooooooo pretty fire. My BIL pyro would love this.

Bobby F? Robert Frost.
Without googling, something like this:
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 I know that for destruction ice is also great and will suffice.

That's 140 boxes of matches. As the story goes, the last match the guy used to light the ball was his last match, had nothing to get the fire going in his house for warmth overnight.

The wife: "Honey, look at the romantic dinner I made for Valentine's Day. It's just perfect! Exactly like that special night you proposed. A wonderful romantic dinner by candlelight, just like that night. I even ordered the same candles online. So if you just get the matches..."
Him: "Um, the matches--?"

Without googling, something like this: 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 I know that for destruction ice is also great and will suffice. Not quite. This was my selection in college poetry-reading contests and I won a few awards with it. 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.

That's it! (But I haven't looked it up since 1999, so I didn't do too badly) That terrifying poet, Robert Frost.

You did great! It just happens to be a favorite of mine.
There's another poet nobody's heard of who's another favorite: Samuel Hoffenstein. He created classics like:
Everywhere I go, I go too And spoil everything.
And
When you're away, I'm restless, lonely, Wretched, bored, dejected; only Here's the rub, my darling dear, I feel the same when you are here.
