Explore "Bjorn's Banquet" by Théophile Gautier on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Bjorn, odd and lonely cenobite, / High on a barren rock's plateau, / Far out of time's and the world's sight, / Dwells in a castle none may know.
No modern thought may violate / His darkened and secluded hall. / Bjorn bolts with care his postern-gate, / And barricades his castle wall.
