Through Fire and Ash

“Hence it is that Fire itself is splendid beyond all material bodies,
holding the rank of Ideal-Principle to the other elements, making
ever upwards, the subtlest and sprightliest of all bodies…
And all that has resisted and is but uncertainly held by its light
remains outside of beauty, as not having absorbed the plenitude of
the Form of colour.”

~Plotinus, The First Ennead
