Lyric discussion by i_am_a_little_rose 

well, i just thought about it, and there's another meaning for the line "an empty splendid castle" in the second book, Candy wanders into an "empty splendid castle", which happens to be the princess Boa's castle. however, it seems to make more sense with the lighthouse interpretation, seeing as all the other meanings i had come up with were from the first book, not the second.
