"I bless you in the name of all that is good and strong and beautiful, Antonio. Always have the strength to live. Love life, and if despair enters your heart, look for me in the evenings when the wind is gentle and the owls sing in the hills. I shall be with you" (page 261)
Reading this was very emotional for me because I could picture the pain that Tony felt or most likely felt as Ultima said these final words to him. The relationship he had with Ultima was very complicated but grew as the book progressed. I feel like Tony thought that he could really trust Ultima and that she was very helpful in aiding him towards his road to self-discovery. Losing Ultima must have taken a really big tall on Tony because like I said she was a big part of his life. The life Tony must live now will be very different than what he got used to not having Ultima but it really ties into the whole loss of innocence and growing up theme of the book
