"‘But I do not know the counsel of the Lord and his captains. They have many ways of gathering news. And the Lord Denethor is unlike other men: he sees far. Some say that as he sits alone in his high chamber in the Tower at night, and bends his thought this way and that, he can read somewhat of the future; and that he will at times search even the mind of the Enemy, wrestling with him. And so it is that he is old, worn before his time.'" - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King, "Minas Tirith" "Denethor looked indeed much more like a great wizard than Gandalf did, more kingly, beautiful, and powerful; and older." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King, "Minas Tirith"
