I will keep the color in your eyes Hello. In The Last Unicorn (1982), two outlaws have tied Magician Schmendrick to a tree. He tries to free himself with his magic but accidentally brings the tree to life, which completely falls in love with him. Tree: I love you. Schmendrick: Oh, what have I done? Tree: Always, always. Faithfulness beyond any man's deserving. I will keep the color in your eyes when no other in the world remembers your name. There is no immortality but a tree's love. Schmendrick: Oh, no, I'm engaged to a Douglas fir. Could you explain to me the meaning of "I will keep the color in your eyes", please? Thank you.
