“Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,

We'll wander back and home to bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!”
― The Fellowship of the Ring

The sun never says to the earth,
"You owe Me."
Look what happens with
