Turrets rising in tiers, with tines at their tops,
Spires set beside them, splendidly long,
With finials well-fashioned, as filigree fine.
Chalk-white chimneys over chambers high
Gleamed in gay array upon gables and roofs;
The pinnacles in panoply, pointing in air,
So vied there for his view that verily it seemed
A castle cut of paper for a king’s feast."
(pg. 794-806)
This quote describes Gawain first seeing the castle after hoping for a place to stay for Mass. It reminded me of the Chronicles of Narnia books with the set up of the castle. The beauty of the exterior could be foreshadowing of events to come in the home.
