ne is to meet them or perhaps express good wishes. For Maude, the "breath of fire" is a type of heavy, dramatic breathing. My body is giving out. I’m well into autumn. If your body starts to "give out," it loses it’s energy and vitality. This is Maude’s way of saying that she knows she’s growing old. Yes, there is certainly a certain attraction. A gentle way of saying two people (or things) seem to like each other. They grow and bloom and fade and die and change into something else. If a flower "blooms," its petals become big and develop bright colors. If a plant or flower "fades," it grows weak and old. All kinds of observable differences. Some have even lost some petals.
