    A light from the shadows shall spring;
    Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
    The crownless again shall be king.”

    J.R.R. Tolkien
    “When evening in the Shire was grey
    his footsteps on the Hill were heard;
    before the dawn he went away
    on journey long without a word.

    From Wilderland to Western shore,
    from northern waste to southern hill,
    through dragon-lair and hidden door
    and darkling woods he walked at will.

    With Dwarf and Hobbit, Elves and Men,
    with mortal and immortal folk,
    with bird on bough and beast in den,
    in their own secret tongues he spoke.

    A deadly sword, a healing hand,
    a back that bent beneath its load;
    a trumpet-voice, a burning brand,
    a weary pilgrim on the road.

    A lord of wisdom throned he sat,
    swift in anger, quick to laugh;
    an old man in a battered hat
    who leaned upon a thorny staff.

    He stood upon the bridge alone
    and Fire and Shadow both defied;
    his staff was broken on the stone,
    in Khazad-dûm his wisdom died.”
    J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

    “Faith then they vowed
    Fast, unyielding,
    There each to each
    In oaths binding.
    Bliss there was born
    When Brynhild woke;
    Yet fate is strong
    To find its end.”
    J.R.R. Tolkien, The Legend of Sigurd & Gudrún
