The trickster fox and his castle full of holes - the "bad, lost" place.

"Lay Reynard just inside the gate,
Stretched forth at length. From tail to pate
He sunned himself, with half shut eye,
And dreamed of merry days gone by,
When no one blamed his loselry.
But when he heard the Bear begin
This speech, at once he sought to win
One of the cryptic spots, which he
Had wrought in castle Malperdy.
For this strong fortress, sooth to say,
Had many a dark and hidden way,
Narrow and crooked, short and long,
Designed to make all those go wrong
Who sought the Fox against his will :
And, if some tracked his steps, he still
Knew secret doors, where in and out,
From hole to hole, he passed about
With furtive steps, and stored his prey
At night-time won, for feast by day. "

- F.S.Ellis
