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
He did not go much further, but sat down on the cold floor and gave himself up to complete miserableness, for a long while. He thought of himself frying bacon and eggs in his own kitchen at home - for he could feel inside that it was high time for some meal or other; but that only made him miserabler.

I am reading The Lord of the Rings. I suddenly wanted to. I almost know it by heart, but I can still sink right into it. I know no other book that is so much like going on a journey. When I put it down to this, I feel as if I am also waiting with Pippin for the echoes of that stone down the well.

Tres Anillos para los Reyes Elfos bajo el cielo. Siete para los Señores Enanos en palacios de piedra. Nueve para los Hombres Mortales condenados a morir. Uno para el Señor Oscuro, sobre el trono oscuro en la Tierra de Mordor donde se extienden las Sombras. Un Anillo para gobernarlos a todos. Un Anillo para encontrarlos, un Anillo para atraerlos a todos y atarlos en las tinieblas en la Tierra de Mordor donde se extienden las Sombras.

Frodo gave a cry, and there was, fallen upon his knees at the chasm's edge. But Gollum, dancing like a mad thing, held aloft the ring, a finger still thrust within its circle.
"Precious, precious, precious!" Gollum cried. "My Precious! O my Precious!" And with that, even as his eyes were lifted up to gloat on his prize, he stepped too far, toppled, wavered for a moment on the brink, and then with a shriek he fell. Out of the depths came his last wail precious, and he was gone.
