“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
― The Fellowship of the Ring

A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

Josef, I spent 3 hours tonight cleaning up Hugh Nibley's books on Goodreads. I saw you had a bunch of the "Collected Works" in your "to read" list. I've grouped them all in a series so you can check and see if you have them all on your list now. Series is here: https://www.goodreads.com/series/2959...
