He knew his life was little and would be extinguished, and that only darkness was immense and everlasting. And he knew that he would die with defiance on his lips, and that the shout of his denial would ring with the last pulsing of his heart into the maw of all-engulfing night. Rest in Peace Paul and Chet.

Thomas Wolfe wrote;
There came to him an image of man's whole life upon the earth. It seemed to him that all man's life was like a tiny spurt of flame that blazed out briefly in an illimitable and terrifying darkness, and that all man's grandeur, tragic dignity, his heroic glory, came from the brevity and smallness of this flame.

The music was inspired by Rachmaninoff and arranged by Don Sebesky and it evokes a pining for something permanently lost and keenly desired. Thomas Wolfe's novel of the same name grasps the feeling of sadness and loss felt in the haunting melody.

This is the most heartfelt version of this song that I know of; Paul Desmond was dying of cancer caused by heavy smoking and it would only be another 17 days until his death. I can imagine how closely he felt the truth in the title.
