Lantern Tower

Famous quotes containing the words lantern and/or tower:

    Or an old battered lantern hung aloft
    To light poor travellers to their distress.”

    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    With the noise of the mourning of the Swattish nation!
    Fallen is at length
    Its tower of strength;
    Its sun is dimmed ere it had nooned;
    Dead lies the great Ahkoond,
    The great Ahkoond of Swat
    Is not!
    George Thomas Lanigan (1845–1886)
