“In his room, scanning through the poetry book for one to read in class, Tate found a poem by Thomas Moore:
... she's gone to the Lake of the Dismal Swamp,
Where, all night long, by a fire-fly lamp,
She paddles her white canoe.
And her fire-fly lamp I soon shall see,
And her paddle I soon shall hear;
Long and loving our life shall be,
And I'll hide the maid in a cypress tree,
When the footstep of death is near.
The words made him think of Kya, Jodie's little sister. She'd seemed so small and alone in the marsh's big sweep. He imagined his own sister lost out there. His dad was right- poems made you feel something.”
― Where the Crawdads Sing

“He opened his shirt and lowered his trousers.
'Bring the light over!' he ordered.
I held the lamp close to the thin, tanned body. What with deep scars, bullet and sword marks, his body was like a collander.
'Now look at the other side!'
He turned round and showed me his back.
'Not a scratch on the back, you see. Do you understand? Now take the lamp back.”
― Zorba the Greek

“There is a thumping silence, and the light of the one lamp across the wet tiled floor seems conscious that it will illuminate this and many other atrocities, just as it will go on shining through days and months of sudden speechless lusts, and all the intervening hours of silent emptiness.”

“it behooves us old stagers to keep our lamps trimmed and burning to the last, and not trust to the sun’s looming.

“The entire astronomical observatory team were installing a mercury argon spectral lamp (HgAr) during a training session when one of the workers smashed the mercury filled spectral lamp. We continued the training session with a new mercury spectral lamp from stock. A week later I was at the doctors complaining of a variety of health conditions that were classic mercury poisoning.”

SEE THEY ARE THE ONES WHO STOLE THE LAMPS

DEKHO WAHI CHIRAG UTHA LAYE HAIN”
