("The Return of the King")
More Quotes from J.R.R. Tolkien:
Thus Aragorn for the first time in the full light of day beheld Éowyn, Lady of Rohan, and thought her fair, fair and cold, like a morning of pale spring that is not yet come to womanhood. And she was now suddenly aware of him: tall heir of kings, wise with many winters, greycloaked, hiding a power that yet she felt. For a moment still as stone she stood, then turning swiftly she was gone.J.R.R. Tolkien

J.R.R. Tolkien

J.R.R. Tolkien
