Castle Perilous

Famous quotes containing the words castle and/or perilous:

    “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)

    “The very form, the very scent,
    not heavy, not sensuous,
    but perilous perilous
    of orchids, piled in a great sheath.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
