Aragorn
March 16, 2007
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
J. R. R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings
A Dangerous Gift

“. . . for advice is a dangerous gift, even from the wise to the wise, and all courses may run ill.”
J. R. R. Tolkien (1892 – 1973), The Fellowship of the Ring.
