According to him, the fire is the first thing to destroy the world.He says fire should have foremost position for destroying world. Here fire is compared with desire of human. Desire propels in hot pursuit of achieving something. Like fire, as desire gets something it asks for more. The poet says Desire of human has the power to destroy earth.
