The Gunslinger


Imaging The Sand In The Mohaine Desert, Which You Crossed To Find Me, And Imagine A Trillion Universes - Not Worlds But Universes - Encapsulated In Each Grain Of That Desert; And Within Each Universe An Infinity Of Others.

The Greatest Mystery The Universe Offers Is Not Life, But Size. Size Encompases Life, The Tower Encompases Size.

Yet Suppose Further. Suppose That All Worlds, All Universes, Met In A Single Nexus, A Single Pylon, A Tower. A Stairway, Perhaps, To The Godhead Itself. Would You Dare, Gunslinger? Could It Be That Somewhere Above All Of Endless Reality, There Exists A Room...? You Dare Not. You Dare Not.


The Drawing Of The Three


"Listen To Me, Maggots. Listen For Your Lives, For That's What It Could Mean Someday. You Never See All That You See. One Of The Things They Send You To Me Is To Show You What You Don't See In What You See - What You Don't See When Your Scared, Or Fighting, Or Running, Or Fucking. No Man Sees All That He See's, But Before You're Gunslingers - Those Of You Who Don't Go West, That Is - You'll See More In One Single Glance Than Some Men See In A Lifetime. And Some Of What You Don't See In that Glance You'll See Afterwards, In The Eye Of Your Memory - If You Live Long Enough To Remember, That Is. Because The Difference Between Seeing And Not Seeing Can Be The Difference Between Living And Dying."


The Waste Lands


"Not All Is Silent In The Halls Of The Dead. Behold, The Sleeper Wakes."


"You Have Come From The Shadow Of Heroin And The Shadow Of Your Brother. Come From The Shadow Of Yourself If You Dare."


The Eyes Of The Dragon


"Kings Grow To Be Great And Tall. They Grow Invisibly, and It Happens All At Once. As Soon As They Grasp The Scepter And The Crown Is Put On They're Heads. Kings Are Very Large People They Grow To Be Awfully Big. And That's Where They Have To Be Specially Careful, For A Very Big Person Could Crush Smaller Ones Under His Feet Just By Taking A Walk, Or Turning Around, Or Sitting Down Quickly In The Wrong Place. Bad Kings Do Such Things Often. But I Think Even Good Kings Cannot Avoid Doing Them Sometimes. God Creates All Kings, Good And Bad."
