Candles Days to come stand in front of us, like a row of burning candles - golden, warm, and vivid candles. Days past fall behind us, a gloomy line of burnt-out candles; the nearest are still smoking, cold, melted, and bent. I dont want to look at them: their shape saddens me, and it saddens me to remember their original light. I look ahead at my burning candles. I dont want to turn, dont want to see, terrified, how quickly that dark line gets longer, how quickly one more dead candle joins another. Constantine P. Cavafy 1899
