"DARK TOWER"
EPILOGUE. The Return
I don’t know anything about you… Or rather, I want to forget everything I know, because I don’t want to know anything.
You don’t know anything about me… You only think you know, but it’s an illusion. Even if you read all my stories, they’re only a tenth of what I’ve been through, and it’s twisted, distorted beyond recognition. Those who have known me for many, many years admit to know nothing about me. There are hundreds of faces and roles in me, each one so unlike any other. They say I am like the Ocean, watched by people only by the shore or from above, since few swim far, and almost no one sinks to the very bottom. Can’t the same be said about you? And about every other person in the Universe?
You want to know if I am black or white… In this world, there is no, was not and will never be Black separately from White. I am white and black at the same time, as well as you are.
You want to know if I am strong or weak… Everything is relative! I could tell you about the Past, the Present and the Future, what Life and Death are, what true Love means, how I had gone There and returned here. I could show you how to move heavy objects without even lifting a finger. I could take you to other Spaces and teach you to stop Time, to see and hear what others cannot, and even how NOT to see and NOT to hear, but just to KNOW.
However, I want to forget everything… next to you… at least for a while…
