Famous quotes containing the words sunk and/or castles:
“And they wrapped him up in an old cow’s hide,
And they sunk him in the Lowland sea,
And they sunk him in the Lowlands low.”

Though palaces and pyramids do slope
Their heads to their foundations; though the treasure
Of nature’s germens tumble all together,
Even till destruction sicken—answer me
To what I ask you.”
