One for Sorrow

Thanks for organizing your memories so neatly that I
had no trouble locating the post which compelled me to
read this series! My personal take on the relationship
between the Old Ones and the humans was that it was
analagous to that of adults and children. The Old Ones
have experience, knowledge and abilities far beyond the
reach of mortals, and certain things could be explained
but not necessarily understood in the same way by mortals.
I especially agree with your interpretation of what happened
with Hawkins--he agreed but didn't really understand what
he was agreeing to until it was too late.

Thanks for your intriguing posts. I really enjoyed reading
these books.
