I agree eith Randy, but wonder also whether it was a conscious or subconscious use of sexual imagery.
How would Freud, or D.H. Lawrence, have interpreted this?
Peter, "transience" and "every year might be the last year" echo each other. There is the excitement, and fear, of impending demise. It does not last - success, fame, a performance, a production - everything ends, and while it lasts, lasts only briefly.

I believe he is speaking metaphorically about something that lasts briefly.
