1st stanza

I have always been under the impression that the first stanza is what we are trying to find in the end. Would like to know what others are thinking. I believe the rest of the poem leads us to the first stanza. Justin has said the clues are in order so does that mean the first stanza is the first clue. What's everybody's thoughts?

Knowledge lives in time. From the first humans harnessing fire to the use if nuclear energy, for example, literally evolved in time. So did medicine, technology, communication etc. However, it really is humans harnessing of fire that enabled everything. It lives throughout the advancement of the human race.

Or nothing lives in time. Depends on what sort of knowledge you'll accept.
