Description
"St. Paul's toll'd one—and fifteen minutes after / Down came, by accident, a chandelier; / The mansion totter'd from the floor to rafter! / Up rose the cry of agony and fear! / And there was shrieking, screaming, bustling, fluttering, / Beyond the power of writing or of uttering."--stanza CLX of Fanny : a poem by Fitz-Green Halleck.
