Old Sentiments Renewed

Random associations carried me to reading old emails, and I found this strange little paragraph in one in 2007 to Alec. I feel it is appropriate here, if one can ever feel that fanatic fondness of fictional accents can be appropriate. And if you have not read the Dark Tower epic by Stephen King, you must. It's not a horror story, it's a Western fantasy. Kind of. Like Firefly with magic instead of space. If you don't know what Firefly is, you need to fix that right away. It was only 11 episodes. Trust me, it's worth your time. Anyway:

May your days be long upon the earth! I hope thou art well, and that I may hear from thee, if it be thy will. In truth, sai, all I hope to say through this our correspondence is that I look forward indeed to these days to come, where we shall be an-tet, together in ka-tet. Wily ka has thrown us together, and for that I say thankee. May our paths together remain straight and true.
