“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.

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

― Ford Madox Ford, Parade's End

“Tourist: “What time do they let the bears out?” Ranger: “They’re out all the time.” Tourist: “What do you mean?”
