"What does ephemeral mean?"
"Geographies," sa the geographer, "are the finest books of all. They never go out of fashion. It is extremely rare for a mountain to change position. It is extremely rare for an ocean to be drained of its water. We write eternal things."

"It means, which is threatened by imminent disappearance."
"Is my flower threatened by imminent disappearance?"
