Famous quotes containing the word lantern:

    “My tea is nearly ready and the sun has left the sky;
    It’s time to take the window to see Leerie going by;
    For every night at tea-time and before you take your seat,
    With lantern and with ladder he comes posting up the street.”
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
