Then further back, higher than the candelabrum, and much higher than the altar, rose the Moloch, all of iron, and with gaping apertures in his human breast.
Yes, but with the kindness of a deep and subtle character who saw in forbearance the best politics and the most effective discipline. Lights were now aglow in a great candelabrum over the table and in many tall lampadaria. A slave, who was a juggler, came near and began to fill the gloom above him with golden disks. From afar came the music of flutes and timbrels.
Shortly before the service is concluded, all the worshippers have their tapers lighted, the flame being procured from a candelabrum in front of the sacred icon. This is done by those nearest to the candelabrum lighting their tapers, while those behind them get the sacred flame from them, and in this way all get their tapers lit.
His voice was harsh even in a murmur, though it still retained, according to Lemercier, "a slight meridional accent." The rosy light of the candelabrum beamed upon his cadaverous lips. "Sprinkle me with perfumes, crown me with flowers, that thus I may enter upon eternal sleep." Memorable words the last words of Gabriel de Mirabeau.
"What candle and what candelabrum?" "The same I used upstairs, of course" "And you can not remember where you left this candle and candelabrum when you finally quitted the house?" "No. I wasn't thinking about candles." "What were you thinking about?" "The rupture with my wife and the bad name of the house I was in." "Oh! and this was on Tuesday night?" "Yes, sir." "How can you prove this to us?"

For, if it had a tale to tell, then was it my business to leave that tale to be read by those who understood books better than I did. My next move was toward the little table holding the candelabrum with the glittering pendants. This table was one of a nest standing against a near-by wall.
I realized this when once in, but would not go back. All I have told about using matches to light me to the southwest chamber is true, also my coming upon the old candelabrum there, with a candle in one of its sockets. This candle I lit, my sole reason for seeking this room being my desire to examine the antique sketch for the words which she had said could be found there.
This predella was more than a braccio in height, and on it were many stories of the Passion of Jesus Christ, which were all to be in bronze, and on the corners of the predella were the Angels mentioned above, both kneeling and each holding in the hands a candelabrum; which candelabra of the Angels served to accompany eight large candelabra placed between the Angels, and three braccia and a half in height, which adorned that altar; and God the Father was in the midst of them all.
Both are rich in curious draperies, a little more pronounced in color than some folks admire. The next floor contains the "Oak Gallery": a ballroom we should call it. Five large windows furnish a flood of light. In the center of this fine room is an enormous candelabrum with many branches, at the top a statue of wood, the whole carved by Victor Hugo's own hands.
