Gil-galad was an Elven-king.
Of him the harpers sadly sing;
the last whose realm was fair and free
between the Mountains and the Sea.His sword was long, his lance was keen.
His shining helm afar was seen;
the countless stars of heaven’s field
were mirrored in his silver shield.But long ago he rode away,
and where he dwelleth none can say;
for into darkness fell his star
in Mordor where the shadows are.-J.R.R. Tolkien
I hope you’re having a beautiful day. ♡

“I wonder,” said Frodo, “But I don’t know. And that’s the way of a real tale. Take anyone that you’re fond of. You may know, or guess, what kind of tale it is, happy ending or sad ending, but the people in it don’t know, and you don’t want them to.” -J.R.R. Tolkien

Bag End to Rivendell, Day 15 of 28
Oct. 7 – Day 15 (1st from Weathertop): 19 miles
(7 Oct – 15th Day from the Shire – Dawn) In the night, the Nazgûl attacked. I couldn’t find Mr. Frodo, then I heard him cry out as from far away — strange words they were! Then, when he appeared, he was bad hurt! Strider fought the cursed things off. At full light, we made our way down to the Great Road. As we crossed, we heard the Riders and ran into the brambles. We camp here tonight. Strider says Mr. Frodo’s wound came from a Morgul-blade and is cursed!

“It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo, — the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were…But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass.” J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers
Weather Foothills, 12th Day from the Shire
Tonight we camp by a proper stream and trees. Well, the trees are stunted alders but they sure beat the Marsh. The moon is turning her face away and in a week or so the night will be too dark to see much at all. (from The Journal of Samwise Gamgee*)
