You only know what I want you to I know everything you don’t want me to Oh your mouth is poison, your mouth is wine You think your dreams are the same as mine

Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.

Shakespeare - 

And I can’t stop ‘til the whole world knows my name Cause I was only born inside my dreams

XV - XXI - XXVIII

Silver: Once again, he is able to conjure the reality he desires just as it was in Charlestown. And just as it was in that storm. There is no denying a man with that kind of power.

Billy: What are you talking about? You’re saying Flint conjured that storm?

You may tire of me as our December sun is setting,  because I’m not who I used to be.  No longer easy on the eyes, but these wrinkles masterfully disguise the youthful boy below, who turned your way and saw something he was not looking for: 

Still can’t get over Flint slightly turning back to take one last took at Silver. Silver… that stays on that cart, can go no further. Leaves him on the treshold where Flint ceases to exist and lets James McGraw be born again into the light.

And now, in this cage, in the belly of this thing that has swallowed us whole, I wonder if the civilization of Nassau isn’t exactly what I tried to achieve all those years ago. If resisting it doesn’t set me in opposition to everything I once understood to be good and right. To forgive. To make order of chaos. I wonder if the pardons are the victory and that the most enlightened thing that I can do is sit still. Accept what appears to be inevitable.
