Tripods

There, torn from many a burning temple, lay / Troy's wealth; the tripods of the Gods were there, / piled in huge heaps, and raiment snatched away, / and golden bowls, and dames with streaming hair / and tender boys stand round, and tremble with despair.

Broadcasters from all corners of the globe have set up tents, tripods and generators along the closed off street near the entrance to the clinic.
