::I am not sure it's a metaphor. I thought it was Randall's first (of two) instances of something too ridiculous to actually be observed, the other being the screaming. The other stuff mentioned before the blades are all plausible observations.

Interestingly, there are plants on Earth that use fire as part of their lifecycle; see [http://www.fynboshub.co.za/fynbos-and-fire/ Fynbos] for an example. Of course, the optimal cycle there is about one big fire a decade; truly continual flames would eventually wipe out fynbos as well (but then what fuel is that fire burning? A fuel that lasts forever would revolutionise the energy industry...) - [[Special:Contributions/162.158.42.46|162.158.42.46]] 07:35, 15 September 2019 (UTC) | Interestingly, there are plants on Earth that use fire as part of their lifecycle; see [http://www.fynboshub.co.za/fynbos-and-fire/ Fynbos] for an example.
