"Are you a storyteller, Thomas Covenant?"
"I was, once."
"And you gave it up? Ah, that is as sad a tale in three words as any you might have told me. But a life without tale is like a sea without salt. How do you live?"
"I live."
"Another? In two words, a story sadder than the first. Say no more - with one word you will make me weep."
The question, though, that popped into my mind is... has anyone ever written Covenant/Elena erotica. Well, explicit erotica. Then I realized that (1) someone almost certainly has and (2) I don't want to know.
