the impermanence of beauty.

The author discusses the theme of the impermanence of beauty in this excerpt. He describes all beautiful things as being "gold." One of the things he says is gold is "nature's first green." This first leaf is like a flower when it comes out (fresh and beautiful), but only so for an hour. Just like Eden, and just like dawn, everything that is beautiful only lasts a little while.
