Themes and Imagery

'It has been expressed like this: 'Each Hour has its colour, but colour exists only where there is light.' 'A Watchman's Secret'
The Glory, the Sun, and Light are the most prominent themes of Lantern, as symbols for knowledge and illumination. It is also associated with mirrors, dreams, sight, and language.
The Light of Lantern is often characterized as cold and harsh, capable of revealing truths and uncovering secrets or warding against dark powers, but also driving people mad or consuming their minds. Mercy is found only in shadow, and light has the power to both illuminate as well as blind.

´Life is a pure flame, and we live by an invisible Sun within us.' - Thomas Brown [Lantern is the principle of the secret place sometimes called @the House of the Sun, and the light above it.]
