Es que no soy ningun hombre viviente! Lo que tus ojos ven es una mujer. Soy Eowyn hija de Eomund. Pretendes impedir que me acerque a mi senor y pariente. !Vete de aqui si no eres una criatura inmortal! Porque vivo o espectro oscuro, te traspasare con mi espada si lo tocas!

And much of the strength and will of Sauron passed into that One Ring; for the power of the Elven-rings was very great, and that which should govern them must be a thing of surpassing potency; and Sauron forged it in the Mountain of Fire in t..

Non vedi laggiu la stretta via Cosi angusta, circondata da spine e da rovi? E' il sentiero della Virtu, Sebbene cosi pochi lo ricerchino. E non vedi laggiu quell'ampia, ampia strada, Che si snoda attraverso il campo di gigli? E' il sentiero della Malvagita, Sebbene alcuni lo chiamino la Via del Paradiso. E non vedi laggiu un grazioso viottolo Che serpeggia sull'erta tra le felci? E' il sentiero verso la magica Terra degli Elfi Dove tu e io ..

And she answered: 'All your words are but to say: you are a woman, and your part is in the house. But when the men have died in battle and honour, you have leave to be burned in the house, for the men will need it no more. But I am of the House of Eorl and not a serving-woman. I can ride and wield blade, and I do not fear either pain or death.

Then Legolas built a grey ship in Ithilien, and sailed down Anduin and so over Sea; and with him, it is said, went Gimli the Dwarf. And when that ship passed an end was come in Middle-earth of the Fellowship of the Ring.
