“A desperate disease requires a dangerous remedy.” Guy Fawkes
It's Time To Light A fire Up on the hill the light recedes as the western candle dims, wick ravaged to ill effect, too frayed to rise again with wax beyond plenish once more, there's a chill wind blowing and the age is dark, it's time to light a fire. ©Paul Vincent Cannon

I was born on November 5th- that aside, I love this, it captured that quote perfectly.

Thank you, mine is on November 8th 🙂 fire and fireworks in November seems a fitting cliche for those born then. It’s a macabre celebration historically though isn’t it?

I’m in an apocalyptic frame of mind today, so I see your last line as fire to cleanse. Hopefully, tomorrow I’ll see it as fire to light the way.

Lets hope one will light it on the right place. Our ancestors had built lighthouses preventing too much fire on with wrong place. Nowadays some want to fear the enlightenment. 😉 By the way: Germany has the EU presidency now. Hope i will not only become a BBQ. Lol Best wishes, Michael
