I saw that the decrees of what to me was fate were still issuing from those lips.
I saw them writhe with a deadly locution. I saw them fashion the syllables
of my name, and I shuddered, because no sound succeeded. I saw, too, for a few
moments of delirious horror, the soft and nearly imperceptible waving of
the sable draperies which enwrapped the walls of the apartment;
and then my vision fell upon the seven tall
candles upon the table.
At first they wore the aspect of charity, and seemed white slender angels
who would save me: but then all at once there came a most deadly nausea over my
spirit, and I felt every fibre in my frame thrill, as if I had touched the
wire of a galvanic battery, while the angel forms became
meaningless spectres, with heads of flame.
