“You’ve changed, Bilbo Baggins. You’re not the same Hobbit as the one who left the Shire.”

The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.

Now come the days of the King.

THE LORD OF THE RINGS: The Two Towers (2002) dir. Peter Jackson.

The heir of Elendil has come forth. Men are not as weak as he supposed. There is courage still - strength enough left to challenge him.

“With hope or without hope we will follow the trail of our enemies. And woe to them, if we prove the swifter! We will make such a chase as shall be accounted a marvel among the Three Kindreds: Elves, Dwarves, and Men. Forth the Three Hunters!”
