Famous quotes containing the words castle and/or street:

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

    And in these dark cells,
    packed street after street,
    souls live, hideous yet
    O disfigured, defaced,
    with no trace of the beauty
    men once held so light.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
