RE: The passing of time

in OCD4 years ago

How beautiful that castle would be in its time, what history they keep inside its ruins, it must be a wonderful experience to pass by there, it's a pity that I stay far away. In Venezuela there are few castles in its ruins, but there are.

Sort:  

The castle was built in the hexagonal style, popular in Europe at the time of construction, and is the largest of its type in England. In its day it would have been a bustling hub of activity for those called it home. It's demise was a sorrowful end to what was a long history. It was brought to destruction through the hubris of men seeking to gain in power or stature and it's downfall can be attributed to that most prevalent of human traits: Greed.

We enjoyed our time there, had a string sense of the history that had played our there, although also felt sad, a feeling commensurate to the sad history that the masonry seem to have absorbed over a few hundred years.
