The Fire
Captions available
The idea
The third quatrain offers the glowing of such fire as lies on the ashes of its youth, as on the death-bed whereon it must expire, consumed with that which it was nourished by. A year, then a day, now the last minutes of a fire.
In practice
A fire, on its own ashes.
Where people slip
From a year to minutes.
