Pompeii Amid ashes pumice lay Life in cinders Pompeii in disarray Vesuvius plumed angry swell Archeologists unearth deathly knell Volcanic vomit ample spume from sunlight golden to darkened gloom Roman bathing in waters pure Nimbus of fires blazing coiffure In 79 AD it's eruption did occur No time to flee , No time for prayer For sure a wrong analogy of mine but this 'Furnace' it froze in time thank you
