Ka is a wheel, and that wheel weaves; we may not meet again. I count you among my friends, Moiraine, and as Yeats has it -- the final lines of the seventh stanza of his "The Municipal Gallery Revisited".
May light illumine and protect you and yours.
Roland Deschain
[Written in the script they both know.]
When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
My love now and always.
Roland
You understand. You always have.
Watch out for Lilly. She was acting odd. Off.
Take care of them, and take care of you.
Roland
We'll meet in the clearing at the end of the path.
You have to buy the first round.
Roland
Your job suits you.
Take down that picture of me and sai Tonks. Put it back up with a frame.
I love you.
Roland
I'll give Daddy Mose your love. You have mine.
The gun is ensigned to your care for River, when she is well enough to carry it.
The rose is for you. If you don't remember what I said about it in our initial palaver, ask someone who does.
I understand your father more than I care to. If he returns, don't trust him. But try to forgive him, as much as you can.
She's yours, Simon. You'll do well by her, so I don't need to tell you to do so.
Good luck.
Roland Deschain
Dinh means leader, father, and king.
You'll be fine. You are fine.
Thankee-sai.
Roland Deschain
Visit Joe's grave for me, if you would.
Eat something. Please.
Roland
Alain is good enough for you. But just barely.
Alain is one of the finest people I know.
Roland
Remember the faces of your fathers and mothers. All the best have more than one.
Roland Deschain
Witch et sex demon, and a fine woman. If your husband ever treats you ill, show him what's what. I know you will.
My love to you now and always, my dear.
