I have you fast in my fortress, And will not let you depart… - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

" "
I have you fast in my fortress,
And will not let you depart,
But put you down into the dungeon
In the round-tower of my heart.

And there will I keep you forever,
Yes, forever and a day,
Till the walls shall crumble to ruin,
And moulder in dust away.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Chorus of the Eumenides: ...
With useless endeavour
Forever, forever,
Is Sisyphus rolling
His stone up the mountain!

Sit in reverie and watch the changing color of the waves
that break upon the idle seashore of the mind.

This is the place. Stand still, my steed,—
Let me review the scene,
And summon from the shadowy past
The forms that once have been.

I have you fast in my fortress, And will not let you depart, But put you down into the dungeon In the round-tower of my heart. And there will I keep… - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
