the lord of the rings.

Saruman by Daniel Schmelling

“I wonder if we’ll ever be put into songs or tales.” - “What?” - “I wonder if people will ever say, ‘Let’s hear about Frodo and the Ring.’ And they’ll say ‘Yes, that’s one of my favorite stories. Frodo was really courageous, wasn’t he, Dad?’ ‘Yes, my boy, the most famousest of hobbits. And that’s saying a lot.” - “You’ve left out one of the chief characters: Samwise the Brave. I want to hear more about Sam… Frodo wouldn’t have gotten far without Sam.” - “Now Mr. Frodo, you shouldn’t make fun. I was being serious.” - “So was I.”

No longer do I desire to be queen.

There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.

In the end there was more than three hours’ delay. Bob came back with the report that no horse or pony was to be got for love or money in the neighbourhood - except one: Bill Ferny had one that he might possibly sell. ‘A poor old half-starved creature it is,’ said Bob; ‘but he won’t part with it for less than thrice its worth, seeing how you’re placed, not if I knows Bill Ferny.’

I thought up an ending for my book. ‘And he lives happily ever after, till the end of his days.’

THE RETURN OF THE KING (2003) dir. Peter Jackson

He’s always followed me, everywhere I went, since before we were tweens. I would get him into the worst sort of trouble, but I was always there to get him out. Now he’s gone. Just like Frodo and Sam.

I bring word from Elrond of Rivendell. An alliance once existed between elves and men. Long ago we fought and died together. We come to honor that allegiance.
