From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Then I rais'd My voice and cried, 'Wide Afric, doth thy Sun
Lighten, thy hills enfold a City as fair
As those which starr'd the night o' the elder World?
Or is the rumour of thy Timbuctoo
A dream as frail as those of ancient Time?
- 6th stanza from the 1829 Chancellor's Gold Medal winning Tennyson poemTimbuctoo,[1] describing the city as a "rumour", a year after the confirmation of its existence by René Caillié.
