Castle Walls Quotes

“Were they any more lonely the silken ladies peering through those slits, than the Renée and the Frannçoise of today, with the clammy water damping the mouldering walls, and the forest, thick and shaggy, shrouding the very door ? Did the wild boar, fiery-eyed, come rooting where the cattle wandered now and the thin horn of the huntsman sound in early morning when the mist still clung about the trees ?”
― Daphne du Maurier, The Scapegoat
