[HANASHIR:7418] a Havdalah question

[Rachel Gurevitz <gurevitzr...>]

A quick enquiry off the usual topic a bit.  I'm trying to recall a nice drash 
where the elements were a) the light of the Havdalah candle reflecting in our 
eyes b) seeing ourselves reflected in the pupils of another's eyes.  I remember 
that the Hebrew word for pupil (ishon?) came into it somewhere.  

The reason I'm asking on this list is because I have a feeling that the drash 
came from someone during Hava Nashira a few years back.  Can anyone help to 
piece together the fragments above to make something coherent?  It came up in a 
class I was in this week where someone said their community used the 
candlelight to see the reflection in each other's eyes, but didn't know why 
they did it.

With thanks,
