'The burning of the Ravana effigy is a symbol of victory of good over evil.— India eNews
The collegians professed great indignation at the manner in which the statue turned its back to the college gates, and the effigy was the object of many indignities, for which the students sometimes got into grave trouble with the authorities St. Patrick's Well was one of the great features of Dublin in the early part of the last century.— A History of the Four Georges, Volume I (of 4)
At least, it is thought by some antiquaries that the effigy is the work of the monks; others pronounce it druidical.— Highways ; Byways in Sussex
Beholding the exquisite grace of this tomb we are reminded of the more elaborate and equally beautiful chantry of the same period (1262) in the south choir transept of Salisbury to Bishop Giles de Bridport Over the effigy, which is a most interesting example of minute ecclesiastical costume, delicate shafts of Purbeck marble support a gabled canopy, each gable of which is surmounted by a finial in the form of a floriated cross This monument once glowed with rich colour, and in 1861 a feeble attempt was made to restore it, which was, however, not carried out.— Bell’s Cathedrals: The Cathedral Church of Hereford, A Description Of Its Fabric And A Brief History Of The Episcopal See
In front of the monument are panels filled with figures of saints, and over the effigy is an elaborate canopy, which has been restored In the last bay to west of the south choir aisle a door gives access to two Norman rooms, used as vestries or robing rooms, to enter which you pass beneath the bellows of the organ.— Bell’s Cathedrals: The Cathedral Church of Hereford, A Description Of Its Fabric And A Brief History Of The Episcopal See
