Images of fire and autumn in the poem, Ethics, frame the speaker's growth of conscience and wisdom, from a hypothesized fire to a real Rembrandt aflame with the elemental power of art, from a routine September question to the darkening autumn of age. Pastan's poem derives much of its vitality from the inflections of this imagery.
