Chandler

Someone who makes or sells candles.

“He feared the prison would go badly for him and it went badly at once. It’s my luck, he thought bitterly. What do they say?—‘If I dealt in candles the sun wouldn’t set.’ Instead, I’m Yakov Fixer and it sets each hour on the stroke. I’m the kind of man who finds it perilous to be alive. One thing I must learn is to say less—much less, or I’ll ruin myself. As it is I’m already ruined.”

Bernard Malamud, The Fixer (1966).

"Who must die must die in the dark, even though he sells candles."

--Colombian proverb.
