out with lanterns (looking for myself)

Krishna to Arjuna: “I, dwelling in their hearts, destroy with the shining lamp of knowledge the darkness born of ignorance.”

Yogi tea wisdom tag twice encountered so far: “It is the light in the lantern which shows you the path, not the lantern.”

Dickinson, in a letter: “I cannot tell you how we moved. I had rather not remember. I believe my ‘effects’ were brought in a bandbox, and the ‘deathless me,’ on foot, not many moments after. I took at the time a memorandum of my several senses, and also of my hat and coat, and my best shoes—but it was lost in the mêlée, and I am out with lanterns, looking for myself.”
