    And that's why he's come back again,to tip these ashes onto the tongue of the windand watch them spindrift into the night.Not just to make the circle complete,to heal or mendbut because he knows these walls,sunk however low,still hold him in as well as out:protect as much as they defend.-The Hill Fort
