In Wolves of the Calla(I think)King refrences a Yeats poem "The Second Coming". When I looked up the poem in The Compact Bedford Introduction to Literature (sixth edition)by Michael Meyer I found it on page 909, or 90 and 9
A note that seems important -- 9 and 99 are also numbers which crop up commonly, although not with the frequency of 19. 99 is as big as 19 on the subtitle page for The Dark Tower, but in Song of Susannah, 99 is very small compared to the 19.
This is sort of out there but if you take 19 and 99,break them down(1+9=10 1+0=1,9+9=18 1+8=9)then place them next to eachother as they were at first you get 19 again
