Episode extras:
The story of Small’s Lighthouse and its keepers.
The movie’s beautiful Fresnel lens.
“Should pale death with arrow dread
Make the ocean caves our bed,
Though no eye of love might see
Where that shrouded grave shall be,
Thou ! who hear’st the surges roll,
Deign to save the suppliant soul.”
Sascha Schneider, Hypnose, 1904
