The Fabian Window is a treasured symbol of the Fabian Society, which has been restored and is currently housed at the London School of Economics[1]
Designed by George Bernard Shaw, the window features a caption across the top which proclaims to Remould it nearer to the heart's desire, as the earth is heated up and hammered upon. The caption phrase is a pull quote from the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.
Coat of Arms
The Fabian Society has for its coat of arms a wolf in sheep's clothing. This can be prominently seen in the window with the two letters "F. S.".[2]
