Sempre,sempre le strade vanno avanti,
su rocce e sotto piante, a costeggiare
antri che di ogni luce son mancanti,
lungo ruscelli che non vanno al mare,
sopra la neve che d'inverno cade,
in mezzo ai fiori felici dell'estate,
sopra la pietra e prati di rugiade
sotto montagne di lune inondate.
Sempre,sempre le strade vanno avanti
sotto le nubi e la volta stellata,
ma i piedi incerti,nel cammino erranti
volgono infine alla dimora amata.
Gli occhi che han visto spade e fiamme ardenti
ed in sale di pietra orrori ignoti,
guardano infine i pascoli ridenti
e gli alberi ed i colli tanto noti
In many ways,' answered the wizard. 'It is far more powerful than I ever dared to think at first, so powerful that in the end it would utterly overcome anyone of mortal race who possessed it. It would possess him.
J.R.R. TolkienWe are truth-speakers, we men of Gondor. We boast seldom, and then perform, or die in the attempt. "Not if I found it on the highway would I take it," I said. Even if I were such a man as to desire this thing, and even though I knew not clearly what this thing was when I spoke, still I should take those words as a vow, and be held by them.

¡Qué haremos, qué haremos! —gritó—. ¡Salir de trasgos para caer en lobos! —
dijo, y esto llegó a ser un proverbio, aunque ahora decimos "de la sartén al fuego" en las situaciones incómodas de este tipo.
Quite a merry gathering!...What's that? Tea! No thank you! A little red wine, I think for me.
J.R.R. TolkienIn Dwimordene,in Lorien
Seldom have walked the feet of Men,
Few mortal eyes have seen the light
That lies there ever,long and bright.
Galadriel!Galadriel!
Clear is the water of your well;
White is the star in your white hand;
Unmarred,unstained is leaf and land
In Dwimordene,in Lorien
More fair than thoughts of Mortal Men.

the most improper job of any man, even saints (who at any rate were at least unwilling to take it on), is bossing other men. Not one in a million is fit for it, and least of all those who seek the opportunity.

En un agujero en el suelo, vivía un hobbit. No un agujero húmedo, sucio,
repugnante, con restos de gusanos y olor a fango, ni tampoco un agujero seco,
desnudo y arenoso, sin nada en que sentarse o que comer: era un agujero-hobbit, y eso significa comodidad.
Tienden a ser gruesos de vientre; visten de colores brillantes (sobre todo verde y amarillo); no usan zapatos, porque en los pies tienen suelas naturales de piel y un pelo espeso y tibio de color castaño, como el que les crece en las cabezas (que es rizado); los dedos son largos, mañosos y morenos, los rostros afables, y se ríen con profundas y jugosas risas (especialmente después de cenar, lo que hacen dos veces al día, cuando pueden).

He never had any real hope in the affair from the beginning;but being a cheerful hobbit he had not needed hope,as long as despair could be postponed.
