Fire is Perpetual Motion

What is there about fire that's so lovely? ... It's perpetual motion; the thing man wanted to invent but never did. Or almost perpetual motion. ... What is fire? It's a mystery. Scientists give us gobbledegook about friction and molecules. But they don't really know.

Notes:

A "Fireman" from Bradbury's book describes the fire he uses to burn books in a most unscientific fashion.
