Combustion

This image remind me of a video about an engine's ignition that I saw during highschool, many years ago. And the words of Novalis just gave it the deepness I wanted.

If our Bodily Life is a burning, our Spiritual Life is a being burnt, a Combustion (or, is precisely the inverse the case?); Death, therefore, perhaps a Change of Capacity.

Novalis, quoted by Thomas Carlyle in his essay "Novalis".
