A candle is a solid block of wax with an embedded wick, which is lit to provide light, and sometimes heat, and historically as a method of keeping time.

Famous quotes containing the word candle:

“My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends—
It gives a lovely light.”
—Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

“Make a candle to get light; read a book to get enlightened.”

““... I have what no young man can have
Because he loves too much.
Words I have that can pierce the heart,
But what can he do but touch?”
Day-break and a candle end.
”
