Respect that lit a candle and knelt down.

means Deep respect and reverence shown toward someone or something regarded as sacred, wise, or venerable — admiration with its shoes off.

from From Latin venerari, 'to revere or worship,' which traces back to Venus, the goddess of love and beauty — so at its root, veneration shares blood with desire, just aged into awe.
