Examples

“The chair she sat in, like ⟳ a burnished throne, / Glowed on the marble, where the glass […] Doubled the flames of sevenbranched candelabra / Reflecting light ⟳ upon the table as / The glitter of her jewels rose to meet ⟳ it, […]”

“Cyby followed us holding up his candelabrum—I suppose ⟳ more for his benefit than mine, but it permitted me to see ⟳ well enough to keep ⟳ from colliding with the dark oak shelves we passed.”
