Quotes that make a reread SO WORTH IT
So before I start spamming with quotes, i still really remember the first time I read Book 6 of Rotk. I was really on edge of my seat because at that time I didn't know what was going to happen to Frodo since he got captured by the enemy. AND poor Sam all alone. When the hobbits did find each other, i was so relieved and i was anticipating the trek to Mount DOom to be so torturous. And it was! Tolkien's detailed description of the land made me FEEL like i was with the hobbits every step of the way. Felt their pain and their despair. I wasn't reading at home; i was at my parents' workplace reading nonstop. So captivating, so real, so amazing. And then when Frodo finally gets to Mount Doom and Tolkien has the twist that he doesn't do what he was supposed to do, it was the greatest thing that i didn't see coming and I felt the pain that Frodo had.
So yeah, i had to share my first experience. So with that, let me give you some
QUOTES OF THE MOMENT
"Though here at journey's end I lie
in darkness buried deep,
beyond all towers strong and high,
beyond all mountains steep,
above all shadows rides the Sun
and Stars for ever dwell:
I will not say the Day is done,
nor bid the Stars farewell." :***((( (I actually had this made into elvish calligraphy on my bed stand)
""There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty forever beyond its reach. His song in the Tower had been defiance rather than hope; for then he was thinking of himself." :***((( (why does tolkien make me want to cry???) I'm glad this was included in the Extended.
"Down, down! Down, you creeping thing and out of my path! Your time is at an end. You cannot betray me or slay me now! Begone, and trouble me no more! If you touch me ever again, you shall be cast yourself in the Fire of Doom!" - Frodo, Mount Doom.
Then his wrath blazed in consuming flame, but his fear rose like a vast black smoke to choke him. For he knew his deadly peril and the thread upon which his doom now hung. Mount Doom
Well, this is the end, Sam Gamgee," said a voice by his side. And there was Frodo, pale and worn and yet himself again; and in his eyes there was peace now, neither strain of will, nor madness, nor any fear. His burden was taken away. There was the dear master of the sweet days in the Shire. Mount Doom
"I would bear you, answered Gwaihir,"whither you will even were you made of stone." -Field of Cormallen
"Is everything sad going to come untrue?" -Sam, Field of Cormallen
<>i>"It is a long way, is it not from Bree, where you did not like the look of me? A long way for us all but yours have been the darkest road." - Aragorn, Field of Cormallen
I'll link most of Steward and the King which i'm rereading but i'll just start here for now. :D ......TO BE CONTINUED.....
Netflix had the movies for a while streaming- did it stop it and was it temporary?
