Camelot Quotes

“Merlin Speaks:
Ô mighty trees of Avalon
release sap and seeds
into hearts and minds

So Arthur’s dream
can reveal echoes
of futures past

So Camelot’s glory
is forever ingrained
in the rich forests
and mountains’ mysterious valleys
where a once and future King
lowered his sword
and lay in the arms
of his sweet Lady of Forests and Lakes”
― Ramon Ravenswood, Icons Speak

We need to release the anger, and we release it on dragons who release it back on us. We slay them and they roast us. It is the natural order of things, Emma.”
― Elias Zapple, Cyril the Dragon
