from A WInter Night

It snowed and snowed, the whole world over,
Snow swept the world from end to end.
A candle burned on the table;
A candle burned.
--Boris Pasternak

  1. To me, the candle represents eternal hope. It may indeed snow the world over, but if our candle keeps burning, we have hope.

  2. Repetition works here-the candle, very symbolic. Hannah is right-hope keeps burning.
