Vajer,Yeah, all of those things
WILL be, but until that - there will always be fantasy
and the eternal struggle between good and ill AND we will
have Frodo - who represents all of us, for he said to Gandolf
[kind of like a representitive of the prophet]"I wish that this [meaning
the disposal of the Ring of Power] had never come to me
and that I had never had to live in these time" said Frodo.Gandolf, being wiser and
knowing that the Hobbit had something stronger in him then
what he knew, gave this wise council: "So do all who live to see
such times, but it is not for them to decide; rather it
is for them to decide what they will do with the time given
them"So, until we get to see the
12 tribes come home and the "City of Enoch", we will have
the brave Frodo and the dedicated Sam as friends to help
us on our own quest against tyranny and Consummate Evil.A song of joy at leaving
and the road ahead -
The
Road goes ever on and onDown
from the door where it beganNow,
far away the Road has goneAnd
I must follow - if I canPersuing it with eager feetUntil
it joins some larger wayWhere
may paths and errands meetAnd
whether then? I can not say.
A song of sadness and of
loosing that which once was and will never return. Of
a broken heart and of "things with are not seen":
I
sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold
there grew;Of
wind I sang, a wind there came and in the branches blew.Beyond the Sun, beyond the Moon, the foam
was ore the Sea,And
by the strand of Ilmarin there grew a golden Tree.Beneath the stars of Ever-eve in Eldamr
it shone,In
Ildamar beside the walks of Elven Tirion.There
long the golden leaves have grown upon the branching
years,Where
her beyond the Sundering Seas now fall the Elven-tears.O
Lorien! The winter comes, the bare and leafless day;The
leaves are falling in the stream, the River flows away.O
Lorien! Too long I have dwelt upon this Hither ShoreAnd
in a fading crown have twinded the golden elenor!But
if of ships I now should singWhat
ship would come to me.What
ship would bare me ever backAcross so wide a sea?
Maybe he sings of Eden or
of Enoch "Where the Golden Tree grows"- could it be
that his soul is just so tired from evil that he longs
to go home "Across so wide a sea"? Could this not
be our song at some crucial time in our future lives? "O
Elberth! - O Glithrial!" Could not our heart
cry out to our Father in a like manner, even using the
Adamic tongue, which sings to the heart like the fabled "Elven
Tongue" does here?Do not be too quick to condemn
something which you know nothing of - nor to condemn it
because you saw some feble attempt to make this epic into
a movie [which could not contain the richness nor the history
of the original in it's making] just to brush with
quick strokes, that which could be a prototype of that
which may lay ahead for us and give us courage to
march ahead against terrible odds.I stand with Frodo and pray
for the strength and courage which he exhibits in this
Epic tale of Good and Evil. Do not take offence,
because I have many other real tales of real courage
at my hand, [My g-g grandmother, walking across the plains
at 12 yrs. old with the Martain Handcart company and utimately
having her feet sawed off with at common carpenter's blade
w/o any anesthetics, and having to walk on her knees for
the rest of her life - with the bare bones sticking out
behind her stumps] but to take good where you see it. This
tale strengthens me.
