After a lovely dinner talking pots, memories and looking to the future the candles burned low. There were few pauses because there was so much interchange between friends, food and pots.
Jeanette Winterson writes of the relationship between light and conversation:
I have noticed that when all the lights are on, people tend to talk about what they are doing--their outer lives. Sitting round in candlelight or firelight, people start to talk about how they are feeling--their inner lives. They speak subjectively, they argue less. There are longer pauses.
