Rapid Life

Life, an infirm spark, 
An unsteady flame, 
A powerful blaze, 
Increasing in speed and ability.

To be precise, 
The incomprehensibility, 
The knowledge gathered, 
The continuity and discretion;
The unity, and the strict subordination,
With the reduction of friction and of material at a personal cost,
These are raised to the optimum point;
It is in the strict functionary direction of life.
