I was expecting you sometime last week. Not that it matters. You come and go as you please. Always have and always will. You've caught me a bit unprepared I'm afraid.

I've thought up an ending for my book. "And he lived happily ever after to the end of his days."
Thirty white horses on a red hill,
First they champ,
Then they stamp,
Then they stand still.

A box without hinges, key, or lid,
Yet golden treasure inside is hid.

"But in low place,
Not in high place."

two-legs sat near on three-legs,
four-legs got some.

I am old, Gandalf. I don't look it, but I am beginning to feel it in my heart of hearts. Well-preserved indeed! Why, I feel all thin, sort of stretched, if you know what I mean: like butter that has been scraped over too much bread. That can't be right. I need a change, or something.
I want to see mountains again. Mountains, Gandalf! And then find somewhere quiet where I can finish my book.
This is a bitter adventure, if it must end so; and not a mountain of gold can amend it.

Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love. Why Bilbo Baggins? Perhaps because I am afraid, and he gives me courage.

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.

Roads go ever ever on,
Over rock and under tree,
By caves where never sun has shone,
By streams that never find the sea;
Over snow by winter sown,
And through the merry flowers of June,
Over grass and over stone,
And under mountains in the moon.

Roads go ever ever on
Under cloud and under star,
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Turn at last to home afar.
Eyes that fire and sword have seen
And horror in the halls of stone
Look at last on meadows green
And trees and hills they long have known.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring.
Renewed shall be blade that was broken
The crownless again shall be king.

Without me, eyes are marbles, no darkness they see.
Faces look garbled, no flurry they feel.
No breath, no cheer, death not to fear.
Time is not spent, roses has no scent.
At nothing you can marvel without me.
