Status Updates From The Last Unicorn

"'If you had not tried to save the unicorn, she would have never have turned on the Red Bull and driven him into the sea. It was the Red Bull who made the overflow, and so set the other unicorns free, and it was they who destroyed the caste. Would you have it otherwise, knowing this?'
Prince Lír shook his head, but he said nothing. Molly asked, 'But why did to Bull run from her? Why didn't he stand and fight?'"

"He glanced up then and drew in his breath. It was the only sound of grief for King Haggard that any living thing ever made."

"Then each of the three below called to her in pain. She turned and vanished; but Molly Grue saw their voices thump home into her like arrows, and even more than she wished the unicorn back, she wished that she had not called."

"The unicorn touched him a second time, over the heart, letting her horn rest there for a little space. They were both trembling. Prince Lír began, but she was away. She went lightly as the shadow a bird; and when she looked back, with one cloven foot poised, and the sunlight on her sides, with her head and neck absurdly fragile for the burden of the horn--"

"There was a weariness in the way she held herself, and a sadness in her beauty that Molly had never seen. It suddenly seemed to her that the unicorn's sorrow was not for Lír but for the lost girl who could not be brought back; for the Lady Amalthea, who might have lived happily ever after with the prince. The unicorn bowed her head, and her horn glanced across Lír's chin as clumsy as a first kiss."

I was gifted a beautiful copy of this, so of course I must reread my favourite book.

I’m only a quarter of the way through but I already think this might be one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever read.
