- flame
Meaning
The Prayer invokes heavenly flames (Prayer.3), and the Charites hymn speaks of the swift flames of Sun and Moon (LX.6). The noun names the luminous fiery forms themselves. In the second passage the celestial owners and the swiftness of the flames should remain attached to the actual phrase, not reassigned to the Charites.
