Every man’s eyes were turned towards the east, watching for the predicted signal; yet when it came, so brilliant, so dazzling, was the light that … men’s hearts stood still with astonishment and awe … never did soldiers gaze upon a more glorious, a more terrible spectacle … every nook and corner of the vast enclosure, every defensive work, every group of defenders, clearly visible … beyond, across the snow-clad valley, dotted with villages and forts, every seam and rock on the rugged, precipitous Asmari Height shone out as if traced by a pencil of fire.
Hensman, Afghan War, p.252
