What is the legacy of a lit candle after it's light has been snuffed out?
What is the evidence that it was ever there?
In a well ventilated room where nature quickly eliminates the smoke,
The only physical print that bears testament to its luminous performance, is a vestige of wax amidst a ceramic dish.
But this is hardly novel.
The only reason we remember a candle when it is gone is that it was the final hint of life long past midnight and our memories of the light it gave while it still consumed oxygen.
