Isaiah 60:8

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Who are these, etc.? The prophet beholds the waters of the Mediterranean Sea covered with numerous ships, whose sails remind him of white clouds moving across the blue expanse of heaven, and again of doves wending their way homewards to their accustomed dove-cotes.

The "windows" of the dove-cotes are the openings through which the birds pass into the towers where they breed.
