<<< previous quotes next >>> SOURCE: "The Fellowship of the Ring" - "The Lord of the Ring" (J. R. R. Tolkien) According to Wikipedia, "the poem appeared twice in the 'The Lord of the Rings' in the first book, 'The Fellowship of the Ring.' First in Gandalf's letter, when the four hobbits arrive to the Prancing Pony Inn at Bree, before they know Aragorn / Strider, the subject of the verse. It is repeated by Bilbo at the Council of Elrond, and he whispers to Frodo that he wrote it many years before, when Aragorn first revealed who he was." |
