Definition:
A lantern houses a small flame or glow, shielding it from wind while guiding those who carry it. Its light tends to spill in gentle circles, illuminating only what lies close. The object suggests travel, watchfulness, or quiet searching through dim places. A lantern’s steady glow contrasts the uncertainty beyond its reach, creating a boundary between known and unknown. Its simple design carries both practicality and a faint hint of old-world charm.
