Excerpt from Uncle John, Vol. 3 of 3: A Novel
Gloomy as must have been the "dungeon dark" of a feudal castle in the Middle Ages, such as that in which William of Deloraine complained he lingered "long months three," filthy as the miry hole from which a pitying eunuch drew the prophet out by his arm-pits with clouts and cords, I can conceive nothing more suggestive of utter hopelessness and desolation than the order, the discipline, the whitewash, the blank bare vacuity of an English prison.
