Regem lupus voravit, et vitae crematus reddidit.
The wolf devoured the king and, burned, gave him back to life.
Emblem XXIV
The king is consumed, the consumer is burned, and the king returns. Death and return in one sentence.
A question to carry
What has consumed you that might, in the fire, give something back?
