Ruined Castle

Famous quotes containing the words ruined and/or castle:

    “Silent rushes the swift Lord
    Through ruined systems still restored,
    Broadsowing, bleak and void to bless,
    Plants with worlds the wilderness;
    Waters with tears of ancient sorrow
    Apples of Eden ripe to-morrow.
    House and tenant go to ground,
    Lost in God, in Godhead found.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Let me be at the place of the castle.
    Let the castle be within me.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
