All lovers of the Dark Tower should read Robert Brownings Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came. Here are some snippets: (and these are not in order) My first thought was, he lied in every word, That hoary cripple, with malicious eye..... ---If at his counsel I should turn aside Into that ominous tract which, all agree, Hides the Dark Tower. ---I asked one draught of earlier, happier sights, Ere fitly I could hope to play my part. Think first, fight afterwards---the soldiers art: One taste of the old time sets all to rights. --Not hear? when noise was everywhere! it tolled Increasing like a bell. Names in my ears Of all the lost adventurers my peers, --- How such a one was strong, and such was bold, And such was fortunate, yet, each of old Lost, lost! one moment knelled the woe of years. ---And yet Dauntless the slug-horn to my lips I set, And blew. ``Childe Roland to the Dark Tower came.
