Famous quotes containing the words castle and/or street:
“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)
“There was an Old Man who supposed,
That the street door was partially closed;”
—Edward Lear (1812–1888)
