"Our campaign is about more than replacing a President. It is about
saving the soul of America." -- Republican Mitt Romney, US presidential
hopeful, after winning New Hampshire primary.
"Remember to look up at the stars and not down to your feet. Try

exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always
something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don't just
give up." -- Professor Stephen Hawking on his 70th birthday.

Aragorn:
Through Rohan over fen and field where the long grass grows,
The West Wind comes walking, and about the walls it goes.
"What news from the West, O wandering wind, do you bring
to me tonight?
Have you seen Boromir the Tall by moon or by starlight?"
"I saw him ride over seven streams, over waters wide
and grey;
I saw him walk in empty lands, until he passed away
Into the shadows of the North. I saw him then no more.
The North Wind may have heard the horn of the son of Denethor."
"O Boromir! From the high walls westward I looked afar,
But you came not from the empty lands where no men are."
Legolas:
From the mouths of the Sea the South Wind flies, from the
sandhills and the stones;
The wailing of the gulls it bears, and at the gate it moans.
"What news from the South, O sighing wind, do you bring
to me at eve?
Where now is Boromir the Fair? He tarries and I grieve."
'Ask not of me where he doth dwell - so many bones there lie
On the white shores and the dark shores under the stormy sky;
So many have passed down Anduin to find the flowing Sea.
Ask of the North Wind news of them the North Wind sends to
me!'
"O Boromir! Beyond the gate the seaward road runs south,
But you came not with the wailing gulls from the grey sea's
mouth."
Aragorn:
From the Gate of Kings the North Wind rides, and past the
roaring falls;
And clear and cold about the tower its loud horn calls.
"What news from the North, O mighty wind, do you bring
to me today?
What news of Boromir the Bold? For he is long away."
'Beneath Amon Hen I heard his cry. There many foes he fought.
His cloven shield, his broken sword, they to the water brought.
His head so proud, his face so fair, his limbs they laid to
rest;
And Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, bore him upon its breast."
"O Boromir! The Tower of Guard shall ever northward gaze
To Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, until the end of days.
The Lord of the Rings
Lament for Boromir, The Two Towers Book
3, Chapter 'The Departure of Boromir'.

Gondor! Gondor, between the Mountains and the Sea!
West Wind blew there; the light upon the Silver Tree
Fell like bright rain in gardens of the Kings of old.
O proud walls! White towers! O winged crown and throne of gold!
O Gondor, Gondor! Shall Men behold the Silver Tree,
Or West Wind blow again between the Mountains and the Sea?
The Lord of the Rings
Aragorn's Song of Gondor, The Two Towers
Book 3, Chapter 'The Riders of Rohan'. |
Learn now the lore of Living Creatures!
First name the four, the free peoples:
Eldest of all, the elf-children;
Dwarf the delver, dark are his houses;
Ent the earthborn, old as mountains;
Man the mortal, master of horses:
Hm, hm, hm.
Beaver the builder, buck the leaper,
Bear bee-hunter, boar the fighter;
Hound is hungry, hare is fearful . . .
hm, hm.
Eagle in eyrie, ox in pasture,
Hart horn-crowned; hawk is swiftest
Swan the whitest, serpent coldest . . .
The Lord of the Rings
The Long List of the Ents from Treebeard,
The Two Towers Book 3, Chapter 'Treebeard'. |
In the willow-meads of Tasarinan I walked in the Spring.
Ah! the sight and the smell of the Spring in Nan-tasarion!
And I said that was good.
I wandered in Summer in the elm-woods of Ossiriand.
Ah! the light and the music in the Summer by the Seven Rivers
of Ossir!
And I thought that was best.
To the beeches of Neldoreth I came in the Autumn.
Ah! the gold and the red and the sighing of leaves in the Autumn
in Taur-na-neldor!
It was more than my desire.
To the pine-trees upon the highland of Dorthonion I climbed
in the Winter.
Ah! the wind and the whiteness and the black branches of Winter
upon Orod-na-Thôn!
My voice went up and sang in the sky.
And now all those lands lie under the wave.
And I walk in Ambaróna, in Tauremorna, in Aldalómë.
In my own land, in the country of Fangorn,
Where the roots are long,
And the years lie thicker than the leaves
In Tauremornalómë.
The Lord of the Rings
Treebeard's Song, The Two Towers Book 3,
Chapter 'Treebeard'. |
ENT. When Spring unfolds the beechen leaf, and sap is in the
bough;
When light is on the wild-wood stream, and wind is on the brow;
When stride is long, and breath is deep, and keen the mountain-air,
Come back to me! Come back to me, and say my land is fair!
ENTWIFE. When Spring is come to garth and field, and corn is
in the blade;
When blossom like a shining snow is on the orchard laid;
When shower and Sun upon the Earth with fragrance fill the air,
I'll linger here, and will not come, because my land is fair.
ENT. When Summer lies upon the world, and in a noon of gold
Beneath the roof of sleeping leaves the dreams of trees unfold;
When woodland halls are green and cool, and wind is in the West,
Come back to me! Come back to me, and say my land is best!
ENTWIFE. When Summer warms the hanging fruit and burns the berry
brown;
When straw is gold, and ear is white, and harvest comes to town;
When honey spills, and apple swells, though wind be in the West,
I'll linger here beneath the Sun, because my land is best!
ENT. When Winter comes, the winter wild that hill and wood shall
slay;
When trees shall fall and starless night devour the sunless
day;
When wind is in the deadly East, then in the bitter rain
I'll look for thee, and call to thee; I'll come to thee again!
ENTWIFE. When Winter comes, and singing ends; when darkness
falls at last;
When broken is the barren bough, and light and labour past;
I'll look for thee, and wait for thee, until we meet again:
Together we will take the road beneath the bitter rain!
BOTH. Together we will take the road that leads into the West,
And far away will find a land where both our hearts may rest.
The Lord of the Rings
Ent and the Ent-wife, The Two Towers Book
3, Chapter 'Treebeard'. |
O Orofarnë, Lassemista, Carnimírië!
O rowan fair, upon your hair how white the blossom lay!
O rowan mine, I saw you shine upon a summer's day,
Your rind so bright, your leaves so light, your voice so cool
and soft:
Upon your head how golden-red the crown you bore aloft!
O rowan dead, upon your head your hair is dry and grey;
Your crown is spilled, your voice is stilled for ever and a
day.
O Orofarnë, Lassemista, Carnimírië!
The Lord of the Rings
Bregalad's Song, The Two Towers Book 3,
Chapter 'Treebeard'. |
We come, we come with roll of drum: ta-runda runda runda rom!
We come, we come with horn and drum: ta-rûna r na r na
rom!
To Isengard! Though Isengard be ringed and barred with doors
of stone;
Though Isengard be strong and hard, as cold as stone and bare
as bone,
We go, we go, we go to war, to hew the stone and break the door;
For bole and bough are burning now, the furnace roars - we go
to war!
To land of gloom with tramp of doom, with roll of drum, we come,
we come;
To Isengard with doom we come!
With doom we come, with doom we come!
The Lord of the Rings
Ents' Marching Song, The Two Towers Book
3, Chapter 'Treebeard'. |
Where now are the Dúnedain, Elessar, Elessar?
Why do thy kinsfolk wander afar?
Near is the hour when the Lost should come forth,
And the Grey Company ride from the North.
But dark is the path appointed for thee:
The Dead watch the road that leads to.
Legolas Greenleaf long under tree
In joy thou hast lived. Beware of the Sea!
If thou hearest the cry of the gull on the shore,
Thy heart shall then rest in the forest no more.
To Gimli son of Gloin, give his Lady's greeting.
Lockbearer, wherever thou goest my though goes with thee.
But have a care to lay thine axe to the right tree!
The Lord of the Rings
Galadriel's Messages, The Two Towers Book
3, Chapter 'The White Rider'. |
Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that
was blowing?
Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing?
Where is the hand on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing?
Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing?
They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the
meadow;
The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.
Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning,
Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?
The Lord of the Rings
Lament of the Rohirrim, The Two Towers
Book 3, Chapter 'The King of the Golden Hall'. |
In Dwimordene, in Lórien
Seldom have walked the feet of Men,
Few mortal eyes have seen the light
That lies there ever, long and bright.
Galadriel! Galadriel!
Clear is the water of your well;
White is the star in your white hand;
Unmarred, unstained is leaf and land
In Dwimordene, in Lórien
More fair than thoughts of Mortal Men.
The Lord of the Rings
Gandalf's Song of Lórien, The Two
Towers Book 3, Chapter 'The King of the Golden Hall'. |
Arise now, arise, Riders of Théoden!
Dire deeds awake, dark is it eastward.
Let horse be bridled, horn be sounded!
Forth Eorlingas!
The Lord of the Rings
Call-to-Arms of the Rohirrim, The Two Towers
Book 3, Chapter 'The King of the Golden Hall'. |
Ere iron was found or tree was hewn,
When young was mountain under moon;
Ere ring was made, or wrought was woe,
It walked the forests long ago.
The Lord of the Rings
Gandalf's Riddle of the Ents, The Two Towers
Book 3, Chapter 'The Road to Isengard'. |
Ents the earthborn, old as mountains,
the wide-walkers, water drinking;
and hungry as hunters, the Hobbit children,
the laughing-folk, the little people.
The Lord of the Rings
Treebeard's addition to the Long List,
The Two Towers Book 3, Chapter 'The Voice of Saruman'. |
Tall ships and tall kings
Three times three,
What brought they from the foundered land
Over the flowing sea?
Seven stars and seven stones
And one white tree.
The Lord of the Rings
A Rhyme of Lore sung by Gandalf, Chapter
'The Palantír'. |
