non illic positas extollit in aethera moles lumine nocturno conspicienda Pharos; sed speculam validae rupis sortita vetustas, qua fluctus domitos arduus urget apex, castellum geminos hominum fundavit in usus, praesidium terris indiciumque fretis.
No Pharos, a conspicuous with nightly light, has piers built there which rise into the sky; but men long ago, finding a mighty cliff to serve as a look-out where the towering hill-crest overhangs the conquered waves, laid the foundations of a castle for twin services to man'a defence on land and signal-post for sea.
