Thinking of King's Dark Tower Series and the poem that inspired it..
"Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came" - Wikisource
There they stood, ranged along the hillsides, met
To view the last of me, a living frame
For one more picture! in a sheet of flame
I saw them and I knew them all. And yet
Dauntless the slug-horn to my lips I set,
And blew. "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower came."
