Famous quotes containing the words maiden and/or castle:

    “The Maiden caught me in the Wild,
    Where I was dancing merrily;
    She put me into her Cabinet
    And Lock’d me up with a golden Key.”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)

    “The splendor falls on castle walls
    And snowy summits old in story;
    The long light shakes across the lakes,
    And the wild cataract leaps in glory.
    Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying,
    Blow, bugle; answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying.”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
