The flame flickered as it consumed the wax and the wick of the candle.

The flickering flame of the northern lights could be plainly seen, whether they rose high or low in the heavens, from every part of the castle.

All I could see was the flickering lights.

In spite of their oaths, signatures, and protestations of fealty, there slumbered in each Britisher's heart a flickering hope for a return of England's sovereignty.

The flickering black-and-white television set irritated my weary eyes.

After one last flicker, the candle went out.

The flickering black-and-white television set bothered my exhausted eyes.

Lashed into foam, behind them roars the brine; / now, gliding onward to the beach, ere long / they gain the fields, and rolling bloodshot eyne / that blaze with fire, the monsters move along, / and lick their hissing jaws, and dart a flickering tongue.

The light flickered.
