“These candles unattended are like a loaded gun on a dining room table. If you can't see the candle, it shouldn't be lit.”
Jim Flaherty
“Never leave a candle unattended … keep it one foot away from combustibles and don't place it near windows or doorways where drafts can occur. Of course keep candles away from any sort of flammable liquids.”

“It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open . . .”
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
