I am but as the spark that gleams for a moment,
His burning candle consumed me - the moth;
His wine overwhelmed my goblet,
The master of Rum transmuted my earth to gold
And set my ashes aflame.

This is the truth As from a fire aflame thousands of sparks come forth, even so from the Creator an infinity of beings have life and to him return again.

1 Corinthians 7:9:
But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

But if they have not self-control (restraint of their passions), they should marry. For it is better to marry than to be aflame [with passion and tortured continually with ungratified desire].
(AMP)
But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
(KJV)
