"He stood beneath the white tower, and looked……" — Peter Ackroyd

"He stood beneath the white tower, and looked up at it with that mournful expression which his face always carried in repose: for one moment he thought of climbing up its cracked and broken stone, and then from its summit screaming down at the silent city as a child might scream at a chained animal."

— Peter Ackroyd
