Excerpt
The last house on the cliff by the fishing village of White-bridge is named Cliff Lodge. Tyndall, in one of his lectures, has spoken of it with these words: “I like to think of the necessary isolation of great minds. I like to think of that cliff tower above our southern sea, from which the flame of truth has shed, amid the darkness of so many years, its steady radiance. I call that house the Lighthouse.”
