Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans fires.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld

The darkness of the whole world cannot swallow the glowing of a candle
Robert Altinger

How far that little candle throws its beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world.
William Shakespeare

This picture is beautiful! I love the reflection of the flame! I like the words too! Especially those from Larochefoucault. I knew them already (in French) and it is very romantic! lismel · 2010-12-26: 13:01
