The Tune Was Wailing And

Who Has Choices Need Not Choose. We Must, Who Have None. We Can Love But What We Lose-- What Is Gone Is Gone.

The Moon Was Gone, But To The Magician's Eyes The Unicorn Was The Moon, Cold And White And Very Old, Lighting His Way To Safety, Or To Madness.

Song Of Elli (old Age) "what Is Plucked Will Grow Again, What Is Slain Lives On, What Is Stolen Will Remain What Is Gone Is Gone... What Is Sea-born Dies On Land, Soft Is Trod Upon. What Is Given Burns The Hand - What Is Gone Is Gone... Here Is There, And High Is Low; All May Be Undone. What Is True, No Two Men Know - What Is Gone Is Gone... Who Has Choices Need Not Choose. We Must, Who Have None. We Can Love But What We Lose - What Is Gone Is Gone.

Heroes Know That Things Must Happen When It Is Time For Them To Happen. A Quest May Not Simply Be Abandoned; Unicorns May Go Unrescued For A Long Time, But Not Forever; A Happy Ending Cannot Come In The Middle Of The Story.

What Use Is Wizardry If It Cannot Save A Unicorn?
