With its high belfry and invincible flanks, it is a vast, grim place which rises up against him who would take it. The atmosphere spreads a layer of cloud over this place and adorns the castle with a necklace of brilliant stars. When lightning flashes in the night this fortress appears through its interstices, shining like the constellation of the Virgo through the openings in the clouds. How many armies has this castle not destroyed and how many conquerors has it not put to flight!
