One of Scriabin's late works, in which he established his unique musical language. Although he composed many other poems, this one is titled and is not bound by tonality or existing forms.

Motifs of fire and flame frequently appear in Scriabin's works, reflecting his inclination towards mystical philosophy. This sound, which opens up a free and ecstatic world, is progressive, and in this work, it leads towards a state of rapture through repeated chords. Simultaneously, his conceptual world, like the depths of darkness, is strongly expressed.
