The Lighthouse at Gero Gobos Cape, Kefalonia |
The Lighthouse
❝ The rocky ledge runs far into the sea,
and on its outer point, some miles away,
and on its outer point, some miles away,
the lighthouse lifts its massive masonry,
A pillar of fire by night, of cloud by day.
.........................
Sail on!” it says:
“sail on, ye stately ships!”
And with your floating bridge the ocean span;
“sail on, ye stately ships!”
And with your floating bridge the ocean span;
Be mine to guard this light from all eclipse.
Be yours to bring man nearer unto man. ❞
Be yours to bring man nearer unto man. ❞
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
