"How I wish that somewhere...
there existed an island...
for those who are wise...
and of goodwill!
In such a place even I...
would be an ardent patriot" ...
Albert Einstein
Pharos
To the imagination of contemporaries the Pharos became Alexandria and Alexandria became the Pharos. Never, in the history of architecture, has a secular building been thus worshipped and taken on a spiritual life of its own. It beaconed to the imagination, not only to ships at sea, and long after its light was extinguished ...memories of it glowed in the minds of men." E.M. Forster
