Ok, I have redelved into the Lord of the Rings.
This contest promp are all the lines from both book and movie that mean alot to me.
#1."Do not weep; for not all tears are evil."
-gandalf, Gray Havens
#2."I sit beside the fire and think
Of all that I have seen
Of meadow flowers and butterflies
In summers that have been;
Of yellow leaves and gossamer
In autumns that there were
With morning mist and silver sun
And wind upon my hair.
I sit beside the fire and think
Of how the world will be
When whinter comes without a spring
That I shall ever see.
For still there are so many things
That I have never seen:
In every wood in every spring
there is a diferent green.
I sit beside the fire and think
Of people long ago,
And people who will see a world
That I shall never know.
But all the while I sit and think
Of times there were before,
I listen for returning feet
And voices at the door."
-Bilbo's song in "The Ring Goes South"
#3.Frodo: "I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened."
Gandalf: "So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought."
Ok, now for the rules....
