Kenilworth Castle

I remember visiting here,
thirty, or even forty, years ago:
and was not disappointed on my return!



Arthur Mee, in The King's England (1949), describes it thus:

"It is a place to dream in. Here has been heard the gay minstrelsy of centuries ago,
the tumult and the shouting of the pageant. Here was something of the intensely human drama
of the life of Queen Elizabeth. Here have been heard a thousand boasting and beseeching voices of history.
Here imagination sees again the pomp and vanity of our great age of pageantry;
here echoes something of the shame, the pity, and the pride
that have mingled through the centuries."
