If such people could retain their physical superiority and their courage, and combine them with our acquirements, they would surpass us in every way, Extat ut in mediis turris aprica casis. They would be, in comparison with us, as a giant to a dwarf, a mountain to a hill: Quantus Eryx, et quantus Athos, gaudetque nivali Vertice se attollens pater Apenninus ad auras.
She is one of the Maries of Chartres, that reveals herself here, dark, mighty, dominant, and all but inexorable; not the Mary of an ecclesiastical shop, who dwells amid tinsel and tuberoses. She is Sedes Sapientiæ, Turris Eburnea, Virgo Paritura, strong and tall and glorious, pierced by seven swords, yet serene as she looks to her Son.
"Maybe, or maybe not," said Otter; "but now I must get me gone hastily to my folk; doubtless we shall meet upon the road to Utterbol." So he turned and went his ways; and Ralph also ran to his horse, whereby was David already in the saddle, and so mounted, and the whole rout moved slowly from out of Vale Turris, Ralph going ever by David.

Looking up, I saw written over the door from which I had emerged, and which was opposite to that by which I had entered, words whose sense was: "'Eye hath not seen. "I walked round the Tower, and found a third door facing the river; and over that was written: "'Turris scientiae.
The original tower was a light-house built by Claudius Caesar, denominated Turris ardens, from the fire burned in it; and this the French have corrupted into Tour d'ordre; but no vestiges of this Roman work remain; what we now see, are the ruins of a castle built by Charlemagne.
The soldiers in the turris were also provided with scaling-ladders, sometimes on wheels; so that when the top of the wall was cleared by means of the turris, it might be scaled by means of the ladders.
But all feared him, I scarce know why; and, moreover, there was none to be master if he were gone." Thereafter she told more tales of the miseries of Utterbol than Ralph had yet heard, as though this tale of the end of that evil rule had set her free to utter them; and they fell to talking of others matters.
