“It broke out with matchless fury.
The rapid vehement fire.”
Taliesin (534–599) Welsh bard
Book of Taliesin (c. 1275?), The Song of the Horses

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.
