“So, what’re you going to do when we’re out of here?” Dave thinks he knows the answer already— he’s known Tommy long enough, after all. “Parole officer says we’re not supposed to associate with each other on the outside.” He scoffs, like they’re not both going to be back here in a few months. “What a load of fuckin’ bullshit.”

73. “Respite On The Spitalfields” - Ghost

“Nothing ever lasts forever. ‘We will go softly into the night.’ That’s how that poem goes, right?”

PAUL   is   shaken   in   that   moment   ,   as   he   has   been   for   the   last   few   months   ,   since   the   passing   of   Coffey   .   There   was   so   much   to   unpack   in   terms   of   the   many   things   he   had   learnt   ,   as   well   as   the   things   that   he   had   to   discover   all   about   himself   in   the   wake   of   a   passing   that   impacted   him   so   deeply   .   His   life   would   never   be   the   same   again   and   for   every   job   he   took   thereafter   ,   he   found   himself   unable   to   stand   tall   or   proud   as   a   figure   of   authority   .   Retirement   was   in   the   cards   ,   he   predicted   ,   being   just   days   away   given   the   way   he   felt   inside   .   His   entire   soul   had   been   ripped   from   him   -   authenticity   no   longer   resonating   in   the   confines   of   his   heart   from   time   spent   with   such   a   man   .   John   had   been   able   to   awaken   a   man   like   him   ;   one   of   power   and   unyielding   belief   in   opposing   facts   to   those   that   Coffey   had   presented   him   with   .   And   now   ,   he   was   faced   with   the   challenge   of   trying   his   best   to   maintain   order   in   an   entirely   different   block   ,   with   entirely   different   inmates   .   ❝   Never   known   a   man   like   John   Coffey   ,   in   all   my   livin'   years   ,   ❞   he   shares   this   aloud   ,   though   only   himself   and   Mr   .   Williams   are   present   .
