“It broke out with matchless fury.
The rapid vehement fire.”
Book of Taliesin (c. 1275?), The Song of the Horses
Context: It broke out with matchless fury.
The rapid vehement fire.
Him we praise above the earth,
Fire, the fiery meteor of the dawn.
Above the high gale,
Higher than every cloud.
Great his animal.
“The fires of history burn hot and long, but memories of fires do not burn long enough.”
