In this case, the oxygen, for example, would come from the breath of the person you love; the candle could be any kind of food, music, caress, word, or sound that engenders the explosion that lights one of the matches Picture Quote #1

The most elementary of good manners... at a social gathering one does not bring up the subject of personalities, sad topics or unfortunate facts, religion, or politics Picture Quote #1
