".... Anon from the castle walls The crescent……" — Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
".... Anon from the castle walls The crescent banner falls, And the crowd beholds instead, Like a portent in the sky, Iskander's banner fly, The Black Eagle with double head. And shouts ascend on high .....'' Long live Scanderbeg."
