Highly pointed line seen possibly in the press (6)

spires

Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spires that I've seen before include "'And that sweet city with her dreaming ------' (M Arnold)" , "Oxford has many" , "Tall towers tapering to a point" , "On 11 down, they taper to a point" , "Tall towers that tapers to a point" .)
