“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

“But the hearts that once adored me
Have long forgot their vow
And the friends that mustered round me
Have all forsaken now
‘Twas in a dream revealed to me
But not a dreamt of sleep
A dream of watchful agony
Of grief that would not weep
Now do not harshly turn away”
