“In creating Frodo, Tolkien may well have been thinking back to the First World War and the lads who went on a terrible journey from which many never returned. Elijah reminds me of those statues of idealized young men on war-memorials throughout the world: more sublime than human and with a complexion of molten marble. He is simply terrific…”

“(…) Glóin looked at Frodo and smiled. «You were very fond of Bilbo, were you not?» he asked. «Yes», answered Frodo. «I would rather see him than all the towers and palaces in the world».”

- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings.

Victory was near, but the power of the Ring could not be undone. It was in this moment, when all hope had faded, that Isildur, son of the king, took up his father’s sword. And Sauron, enemy of the free peoples of Middle-Earth, was defeated.

“Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens,‘said Gimli. ‘Maybe,'said Elrond,'but let him not vow to walk in the dark, who has not seen the nightfall.”

Argh. You could have picked a better spot.

Sauron and Saruman are tightening the noose. But for all their cunning we have one advantage. The ring remains hidden. And that we should seek to destroy it has not yet entered their darkest dreams.

I do not know what strength is in my blood, but I swear to you I will not let the White City fall… nor our people fail! Our people? Our people.

Every villager able to wield a sword has been sent to the armory.

[tlotrgifs]

Ooh! You didn’t think I’d miss your Uncle Bilbo’s birthday?

[tlotrgifs]

Look to my coming at first light on the fifth day. At dawn, look to the East.

[tlotrgifs]

Thank you.

[tlotrgifs]

Twenty-nine. Thirty-three, thirty-four.

[tlotrgifs]

Long have you hunted me. Long have I eluded you. No more.

[tlotrgifs]

We’re going with you, laddie.
