More Quotes from J.R.R. Tolkien:
Cold be hand and heart and bone,and cold be sleep under stonenever more to wake on stony bed,never, till the Sun fails and the Moon is dead.In the black wind the stars shall die,and still on gold here let them lie,till the dark lord lifts his handover dead sea and withered land.J.R.R. Tolkien
Don't you know my name yet That's the only answer. Tell me, who are you alone, yourself and nameless But you are young and I am old. Eldest, that's what I am. Mark my words, my friends Tom was here before the river and the trees Tom remembers the first raindrop and the first acorn. He made paths before the Big People, and saw the little People arriving. He was here before the Kings and the graves and the Barrow-wights. When the Elves passed westward, Tom was here already, before the seas were bent. He knew the dark under the stars when it was fearless - before the Dark Lord came from Outside.
J.R.R. Tolkien

J.R.R. Tolkien
Don't go where I can't follow!
