Stone Walls Do Not a Prison Make...

Stone Wall, Galena, IL

“Stone walls do not a prison make, 

Nor iron bars--a cage, 

so peril, loneliness, an uncertain future, 

are not oppressive evils, 

so long as the frame is healthy 

and the faculties are employed; 

so long, especially, as Liberty lends us her wings, 

and Hope guides us by her star.” 

 ~Charlotte Bronte~ Villette
