* Okay.
* Say, I have a quote for you. You might like it.
“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 the blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
___J.R.R. Tokien The Lord Of the Rings.

One more:
“I wish it need not have happened in my
time,” said Frodo.
“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all
who live to see such times. But that is
not for them to decide. All we have to
decide is what to do with the time that
is given us.”___J.R.R. Tokien

Very nice. (However, as I’m suffering a bad tooth issue right now, words like ‘root’ and ‘crown’ aren’t exactly resonating :-(
Here’s one of my favorite poems:
The Donkey
When fishes flew and forests walked
And figs grew upon thorn,
Some moment when the moon was blood
Then surely I was born.
With monstrous head and sickening cry
And ears like errant wings,
The devil’s walking parody
On all four-footed things.
The tattered outlaw of the earth,
Of ancient crooked will;
Starve, scourge, deride me: I am dumb,
I keep my secret still.
Fools! For I also had my hour;
One far fierce hour and sweet:
There was a shout about my ears,
And palms before my feet.
-G. K. Chesterton
