| bddc104 | A wild light came into Frodo's eyes. 'Stand away! Don't touch me!' he cried. 'It is mine, I say. Be off!' His hand strayed to his sword-hilt. But then quickly his voice changed. 'No, no, Sam,' he said sadly. 'But you must understand. It is my burden, and no one else can bear it. It is too late now, Sam dear. You can't help me in that way again. I am almost in its power now. I could not give it up, and if you tried to take it I should go mad.. | frodo j-r-r-tolkien sam the-lord-of-the-rings | J.R.R. Tolkien | |

| 6afccc0 | And far away, as Frodo put on the Ring and claimed it for his own, even in Sammath Naur the very heart of his realm, the Power in Barad-dur was shaken, and the Tower trembled from its foundations to its proud and bitter crown. The Dark Lord was suddenly aware of him, and his Eye piercing all shadows looked across the plain to the door that he had made; and the magnitude of his own folly was revealed to him in a blinding flash, and all the d.. | j-r-r-tolkien the-dark-lord the-return-of-the-king the-ring | J.R.R.

| 173686d | Gandalf did not move. And in that very moment, away behind in some courtyard of the City, a cock crowed.

| c5caa7a | The incarnate angel of Tolkien's mythology, Gandalf the Grey, said it well in a conversation with Frodo. "I wish it need not have happened in my time," laments the young Hobbit. "So do I," Gandalf replies, "and 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 us." -- | Bradley J.

Porque vivo o espectro oscuro, te traspasare con mi espada si lo tocas! | lord-of-the-rings tolkien | J.R.R. Tolkien | |
| 40952f8 | Now the Elves made many rings; but secretly Sauron made One Ring to rule all the others, and their power was bound up with it, to be subject wholly to it and to last only so long as it too should last. 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.. | sauron | J.R.R.

Tolkien | |
| e673669 | Clothes are of but little loss, if you escape from drowning. | J.R.R TOLKIEN | ||
| 82f0070 | At last reluctantly Gandalf himself took a hand. Picking up a faggot he held it aloft for a moment, and then with a word of command, naur an edraith ammen! he thrust the end of his staff into the midst of it. | J.R.R. Tolkien | ||

| c517464 | White!" he sneered. "It serves as a beginning. White cloth may dyed. The white page can be overwritten; and the white light can be broken." "In which case it is no longer white," said I.
