J.R.R. Tolkien  - Quotes

 It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,

Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt,

It lies behind stars and under hills,

And empty holes it fills,

It comes first and follows after,

Ends life, kills laughter.

J.R.R. Tolkien  - Quotes

 Under the Mountain dark and tall

The King has come unto his hall!

His foe is dead,

the Worm of Dread,

And ever so his foes shall fall.



The sword is sharp, the spear is long,

The arrow swift, the Gate is strong;

The heart is bold that looks on gold;

The dwarves no more shall suffer wrong.



The dwarves of yore made mighty spells,

While hammers fells like ringing bells

In places deep, where dark things sleep,

In hollow halls beneath the fells.



-from The Hobbit (Dwarves Battle Song)

J.R.R. Tolkien  - Quotes

 If you have ever seen a dragon in a pinch, you will realize that this was only poetical exaggeration applied to any hobbit, even to Old Took's great-granduncle Bullroarer, who was so huge (for a hobbit) that he could ride a horse. He charged the ranks of the goblins of Mount Gram in the Battle of the Green Fields, and knocked their king Golfibul's head clean off with a wooden club. It sailed a hundred yards through the air and went down a rabbit-hole, and in this way the battle was won and the game of Golf was invented at the same moment.
