Postby LukeJavan8 » Thu Apr 28, 2011 1:05 pm

A curious word that means studying by candlelight, but
also it can mean meditation.
-----please, draw me a sheep-----

"In winter I go to bed at night, and dress by yellow candle light.” R L Stevenson's A Child's Garden of Verse. Perhaps a loose quotation but you get the gist.
It is dark at night, but the Sun will come up and then we can see.
