The flames sawed in the wind and the embers paled and deepened and paled and deepened like the bloodbeat of some living thing eviscerate upon the ground before them and they watched the fire which does contain within it something of men themselves inasmuch as they are less without it and are divided from their origins and are exiles. For each fire is all fires, and the first fire and the last ever to be.
The passage reflects on the nature of fire and its connection to humanity. It describes how flames dance in the wind and how the changing color of embers evokes a sense of life and vitality. This imagery suggests that fire embodies both creation and destruction, evoking the primal nature within humans as they witness this elemental force.
