Gandalf facing the Witch King by  Angus McBride

 Nazgul Armor

since Christmas is over, i felt like sharing. i talk about Lord of the Rings to anyone who’ll listen, and my boyfriend is no exception. part of my gift from him included these two books. Tolkien’s Unfinished Tales and The Maps of Middle Earth. The map book is full of gorgeous illustrations by the talented  John Howe and the equally talented  Brian Sibley. i am so excited to look over each of the maps and to break open the unfinished tales! i hope you all had a great Christmas and as always, thank you so much for following!

  • Frodo: I can't do this, Sam.
  • Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.
  • Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?
  • Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for
