Fate Sits On These Dark Battlements And Frowns,
And As The Portal Opens To Receive Me,
A Voice In Hollow Murmurs Through The Courts
Tells Of A Nameless Deed.
Fate sits on these dark battlements and frowns,
And as the portal opens to receive me,
A voice in hollow murmurs through the courts
Tells of a nameless deed.
-- Ann Radcliffe (1764-1823)
