Sunset

Who was the first person on earth to describe a sunrise or sunset as fiery? What a revelation it must have seemed at the time. to be the first to compare the dancing orange of flame to the sky at dusk and dawn.
The comparison is so trite now, but is it any less true? Can we still sing the same song over and over and over again and take pleasure in the hearing, in the performance, in the song? Or does the ecstasy we find in the music depend not in the times we hear it but in quality of the melody?
