Said she. And must he not now be come thither. It is seven days since he rode away. Seven days, said Faramir. But think not ill of me, if I say to you: they have brought me both a joy and a pain that I never thought to know. Joy to see you; but pain, because now the fear and doubt of ´ this evil time are grown dark indeed. Eowyn, I would not have this world end now, or lose so soon what I have found. Lose what you have found, lord. she answered; but Are apex ski boots any good looked at him gravely and her eyes were kind. I know not what in these days you have found that you could lose. But come, my friend, let us not speak of it. Let us not speak at all. I stand upon some dreadful brink, and it is utterly dark in the abyss before my feet, but whether there is any light behind me I cannot tell. For I cannot turn yet. I wait for some stroke of doom. Yes, we wait for the stroke of doom, said Faramir. And they said no more; and it seemed to apex and bath inc as they stood upon the wall that the wind died, and the light failed, and the Sun was bleared, and all sounds in the City or in the lands about were hushed: neither wind, nor voice, nor bird-call, nor rustle of leaf, nor their own breath could be heard; the very beating of their hearts was stilled. Time halted. And as they stood so, their hands met and clasped, though they did not know it. And still they waited for they knew not what. Then presently it seemed to them that above the ridges of the distant mountains another vast mountain of darkness rose, towering up like a wave that should engulf the world, and about it lightnings flickered; and then a tremor ran through the earth, and they felt the walls of the City quiver. A sound like a sigh went up from all the lands about them; and their hearts beat suddenly again. It reminds me of Nu´menor, said Faramir, and wondered to hear himself speak. ´ Of Nu´menor. said Eowyn. Yes, said Faramir, of the land of Westernesse that foundered, and of the great dark wave climbing over the green lands and above the hills, and coming on, darkness unescapable. I often dream of it. ´ Then you think that the Darkness is coming. said Eowyn. Darkness Unescapable. And suddenly she drew close to him. No, said Faramir, looking into her face. It was but a picture in the mind. I do not know what is happening. The reason of my waking mind tells me that great evil has befallen and we stand at the end of days. But my heart says nay; and all my limbs are light, and a hope T HE STEWARD A ND TH E K I NG 963 and ´ ´ joy are come to me that no reason can deny. Eowyn, Eowyn, White Lady of Rohan, in this hour I do not believe that any darkness will endure. And he stooped and kissed her brow. And so they stood on the learn more here of the City of Gondor, and a great wind rose and blew, and their hair, raven and golden, streamed out mingling in the air. And the Shadow departed, and the Sun was unveiled, and light leaped forth; and the waters of Anduin shone like silver, and in all the houses of the City men sang for the joy that welled up in their hearts from what source they could not tell. And before the Sun had fallen far from the noon out of the East there came a great Eagle flying, and he bore tidings beyond hope from the Lords of the West, crying: Sing now, ye people of the Tower of Anor, for the Realm of Sauron is ended for ever, and the Dark Tower is thrown down. Sing and rejoice, ye people of the Tower of Guard, for your watch hath not been in vain, and the Black Gate is broken, and your King hath passed through, and he is victorious. Sing and be glad, all ye children of the West, for your King shall come again, and he shall dwell among you all the days of your life. And the Tree that was withered shall be renewed, and he shall plant it in the high places, and the City shall be blessed. Sing all ye people. And the people sang in all the ways of the City. The days that followed were golden, and Spring and Summer joined and made revel together in the fields of Gondor. And tidings now came by swift riders from Cair Andros of all that was done, and the City made ready for the coming of the King. Merry was summoned and rode away with the wains that took store of goods to Osgiliath and thence by ship to Cair Andros; but Faramir did not go, for now being healed he took upon him his authority and the 964 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS Stewardship, although it was only for a little while, and his duty was to prepare for one who should replace him. And Eowyn did not go, though her brother sent word begging her ´ to come to the field of Cormallen. And Pubg game setup for pc free download vice city wondered at this, but he saw her seldom, being busy with many matters; and she dwelt still in the Houses of Healing and walked alone in the garden, and her face grew pale again, and it seemed that in all the City she only was ailing and sorrowful. And the Warden of the Houses was troubled, and he spoke to Faramir. Then Faramir came and sought her, and once more they stood on ´ the walls together; and he said to her: Eowyn, why do you tarry here, and do not go to the rejoicing in Cormallen beyond Cair Andros, where your brother awaits you. And she said: Do you not know. But he answered: Two reasons there may be, but which is true, I do not know. And she said: I do not wish to play at riddles. Speak plainer. Then if you will have it so, lady, he said: you do not go, because only your brother called for you, and to look on the Lord Aragorn, Elendils heir, in his triumph would now bring you no joy. Or because I do not go, and you desire still to be near me. And maybe for both these reasons, and you yourself cannot choose between them. Eowyn, ´ do you not love me, or will you not. I wished to be loved by another, she answered. But I desire no mans pity. That I know, he said. You desired to have the love of the Lord Aragorn. Because he was high and puissant, and you wished to have renown and glory and to be lifted far above the mean things that crawl on the earth. And as a great captain may to a young soldier he seemed to you admirable. For so he is, a lord among men, the greatest that now is. But when he gave you only understanding and pity, then you desired to have nothing, unless a brave death in battle. Look at me, E´ owyn. And Eowyn looked at Faramir long and steadily; and Faramir said: ´ ´ Do not scorn pity that is the gift of a gentle heart, Eowyn. But I do not offer you my pity. For you are a lady high and valiant and have yourself won renown that shall not be forgotten; and you are a lady beautiful, I deem, beyond even the words of the elven-tongue to tell. And I love you. Once I pitied your sorrow. But now, were you sorrowless, without fear or any lack, were you the blissful Queen of Gondor, still I would love you. Eowyn, do you not love me. ´ Then ´ the heart of Eowyn changed, or else at last she understood it. And suddenly her winter passed, and the sun baldurs gate download steam on her. I stand in Minas Anor, the Tower of the Sun, she said; and T HE STEWARD A ND TH E K I NG 965 behold. the Shadow yardmaster apex shed departed. I will be a shieldmaiden no longer, nor vie with the great Riders, nor take joy only in the songs of slaying. I will be a healer, and love all things that grow and are not barren. And again she looked at Faramir. No longer do I desire to be a queen, she said. Then Faramir laughed merrily. That is well, he said; for I am not a king. Yet I will wed with the White Lady of Rohan, if it be her will. And if she will, then let us cross the River and in happier days let us dwell in fair Ithilien and there read more a garden. All things will grow with joy there, if the White Lady comes. Then must I leave my own people, man of Gondor. she said. And would you have your proud folk say of you: There goes a lord who tamed a wild shieldmaiden of the North. Was there no woman of the race of Nu´menor to choose. I would, said Faramir. And he took her in his arms and kissed her under the sunlit sky, and he cared not that they stood high upon the walls in the sight of many. And many indeed saw them and the light that shone about them as they came down from the walls and went hand in hand to the Houses of Healing. And to the Warden of the Houses Faramir said: Here is the Lady Eowyn of Rohan, and now she is healed. ´ And the Warden said: Then I release her from my charge and bid her farewell, and may she suffer never hurt nor sickness again. I commend her steamworks new the care of the Steward of the City, until her brother returns. But Eowyn ´ said: Yet now that I have leave to depart, I would remain. For this House has become to me of all dwellings the most blessed. And she remained there until King Eomer came. ´ All things were now made ready in the City; and there was great concourse of people, for the tidings had gone out into all parts of Gondor, from Min-Rimmon even to Pinnath Gelin and the far coasts of the sea; and all that could come to the City made haste to come. And the City was filled again with women and fair children that returned to their homes laden with flowers; and from Dol Amroth came the harpers that harped most skilfully in all the land; and there were players upon viols and upon flutes and upon horns of silver, and clear-voiced singers from the vales of Lebennin. At last an evening came when from the walls the pavilions could be seen upon the field, and all night lights were burning as men watched for the dawn. And when the sun rose in the clear morning above the mountains in the East, upon which shadows lay no more, then all the bells rang, and all the banners broke and flowed in the wind; and upon the White Tower of the citadel the standard of the 966 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS Stewards, bright argent like snow in the sun, bearing no charge nor device, was raised over Gondor for the last time. Now the Captains of the West led their host towards the City, and folk saw them advance in line upon line, flashing and glinting in the sunrise and rippling like silver. And so they came before the Gateway and halted a furlong from the walls. As yet no gates had been set up again, but a barrier was laid across the entrance to the City, and there stood men at arms in silver and black with long swords drawn. Before the barrier stood Faramir the Steward, and Hu´rin Warden of the Keys, and other captains of Gondor, and the Lady Eowyn ´ of Rohan with Elfhelm the Marshal and many knights of the Mark; and upon either side of the Gate was a great press of fair people in raiment of many colours and garlands of flowers. So now there was a wide space before the walls of Minas Tirith, and it was hemmed in upon all sides by the knights and the soldiers of Gondor and of Rohan, and by the people of the City and of all parts of the land. A hush fell upon all as out from the host stepped the Du´nedain in silver and grey; and before them came walking slow the Lord Aragorn. He was clad in black mail girt with silver, and he wore a long mantle of pure white clasped at the throat with a great jewel of green that shone from afar; but his head was bare save for a star upon his forehead bound by a slender fillet of silver. With him were Eomer ´ of Rohan, and the Prince Imrahil, and Gandalf robed all in white, and four small figures that many men marvelled to see. Nay, cousin. they are not boys, said Ioreth to her kinswoman from Imloth Melui, who stood beside her. Those are Periain, out of the far country of the Halflings, where they are princes of great fame, it is said. I should know, for I had one to tend in the Houses. They are small, but they are valiant. Why, cousin, one of them went with only his esquire into the Black Country and fought with the Dark Lord all by himself, and set fire to his Tower, if you can believe it. At least that is the tale in the City. That will be the one that walks with our Elfstone. They are dear friends, I hear. Now he is a marvel, the Lord Elfstone: not too soft in his speech, mind you, but he has a golden heart, as the saying is; and he has the healing hands. The hands of the king are the hands of a healer, I said; and that was how it was all discovered. And Mithrandir, he said to me: Ioreth, men will long remember your words, and-- But Ioreth was not permitted to continue the instruction of her kinswoman from the country, for a single trumpet rang, and a dead silence followed. Then forth from the Gate went Faramir with Hu´rin of the Keys, and no others, save that behind them walked four men in the high helms and armour of the Citadel, and they bore a great casket of black lebethron bound with silver. T HE STEWARD A ND TH E K I NG 967 Faramir met Aragorn in the midst of those there assembled, and he knelt, and said: The last Steward of Gondor begs leave to surrender his office. And he held out a white rod; but Aragorn took the rod and gave it back, saying: That office is not ended, and it shall be thine and thy heirs as long as my line shall last. Do now thy office. Then Faramir stood up and spoke in a clear voice: Men of Gondor, hear now the Steward of this Realm. Behold. one has come to claim the kingship again at last. Here is Aragorn son of Arathorn, chieftain of the Du´nedain of Arnor, Captain of the Host of the West, bearer of the Star of the North, wielder of the Sword Reforged, victorious in battle, whose hands bring healing, the Elfstone, Elessar of the line of Valandil, Isildurs son, Elendils son of Nu´menor. Shall he be king and enter into the City and dwell there. And all the host and all the people cried yea with one here. And Ioreth said to her kinswoman: This is just a ceremony such as we have in the City, cousin; for he has already entered, as I was telling you; and he said to me-- And then again she was obliged to silence, for Faramir spoke again. Men of Gondor, the loremasters tell that it was the custom of old that the king should receive the crown from his father ere he died; or if that might not be, that he should go alone and take it from the hands of his father in the tomb where he was laid. But since things must now be done otherwise, using the authority of the Steward, I have today brought hither from Rath Dı´nen the crown of Ea¨rnur the last king, whose days passed in the time of our longfathers of old. Then the guards stepped forward, and Faramir opened the casket, and he held up an ancient crown. It was shaped like the helms of the Guards of the Citadel, save that it was loftier, and it was all white, and the wings at either side were wrought of pearl and silver in the likeness of the wings of a sea-bird, for it was the emblem of kings who came over the Sea; and seven gems of adamant were set in the circlet, and upon its summit was set a single jewel the light of which went up like a flame. Then Aragorn took the crown and held it up and said: Et Ea¨rello Endorenna utu´lien. Sinome maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn Ambar-metta. And those were the words that Elendil spoke when he came up out of the Sea on the wings of the wind: Out of the Great Sea to Middle-earth I am come. In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world. Then to the wonder of many Aragorn did not put the crown upon his head, but gave it back to Faramir, and said: By the labour and valour of many I have come into my inheritance. In token of this I 968 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS would have the Ring-bearer bring the crown to me, and let Mithrandir set it upon my head, if he will; for he has been the mover of all that has been accomplished, and this is his victory. Then Frodo came forward and took the crown from Faramir and bore it to Gandalf; and Aragorn knelt, and Gandalf set the White Crown upon his head, and said: Now come the days of the King, and may they be blessed while the thrones of the Valar endure. But when Aragorn arose all that beheld him gazed in silence, for it seemed to them that he was revealed to them now for the first time. Tall as the sea-kings of old, he stood above all that were near; ancient of days he seemed and yet in the flower of manhood; and wisdom sat upon his brow, and strength and healing were in his hands, and a light was about him. And then Faramir cried: Behold the King. And in that moment all the trumpets were blown, and the King Elessar went forth and came to the barrier, and Hu´rin of the Keys thrust it back; and amid the music of harp and of viol and of flute and the singing of clear voices the King passed through the flowerladen streets, and came to the Citadel, and entered in; and the banner of the Tree and the Stars was unfurled upon the topmost tower, and the reign of King Elessar began, of which many songs have told. In his time the City was made more fair than it had ever been, even in the days of its first glory; and it was filled with trees and with fountains, and its gates were wrought of mithril and steel, and its streets were paved with white marble; and the Folk of the Mountain laboured in it, and the Folk of the Wood rejoiced to come there; and all was healed and made good, and the houses were filled with men and women and the laughter of children, and no window was blind nor any courtyard empty; and after the ending of the Third Age of the world into the new age it preserved the memory and the glory of the years that were gone. In the days that followed his crowning the King sat on his throne in the Hall of the Kings and pronounced his judgements. And embassies came from many lands and peoples, from the East and the South, and from the borders of Mirkwood, and from Dunland in the west. And the King pardoned the Easterlings that had given themselves up, and sent them away free, and he made peace with the peoples of Harad; and the slaves of Mordor he released and gave to them all the lands about Lake Nu´rnen to be their own. And there were brought before him many to receive his praise and reward for their valour; and last the captain of the Guard brought to him Beregond to be judged. T HE STEWARD A ND TH E K I NG 969 And the King said to Beregond: Beregond, by your sword blood was spilled in the Hallows, where that is forbidden. Also you left your post without leave of Lord or of Captain. Forthese things, of old, death was the penalty. Now therefore I must pronounce your doom. All penalty is remitted for your valour in battle, and still more because all that you did was for the love of the Lord Faramir. Nonetheless you must leave the Guard of the Citadel, and you must go forth from the City of Minas Tirith. Then the blood left Beregonds face, and he was stricken to the heart and bowed his head. But the King said: So it must be, for you are appointed to the White Company, the Guard of Faramir, Prince of Ithilien, and you shall be its captain and dwell in Emyn Arnen in honour and peace, and in the service of him for whom you risked all, to save him from death. And then Beregond, perceiving the mercy and justice of the King, was glad, and kneeling kissed his hand, and departed in joy and content. And Aragorn gave to Faramir Ithilien to be his princedom, and bade him dwell in Are apex ski boots any good hills of Emyn Arnen within sight of the City. For, said he, Https://beststrategygames.cloud/pubg/pubg-unblocked-without.php Ithil in Morgul Vale shall be utterly destroyed, and though it may in time to come be made clean, no man may dwell there for many long years. And ´ last of all Aragorn greeted Eomer of Rohan, and they embraced, and Aragorn said: Between us there can be no word of giving or taking, nor of reward; for we are brethren. In happy hour did Eorl ride from the North, and never has any league of peoples been more blessed, so that neither has ever failed the other, nor shall fail. Now, as you know, we have laid The´oden the Renowned in a tomb in the Hallows, and there he shall lie for ever learn more here the City free pc download for gta vice of Gondor, if you will. Or if you desire it, we will come to Rohan and bring him back to rest with his own people. And E´ omer answered: Since the day when you rose before me out of the green grass of the downs I have loved you, and that love shall not fail. But now I must depart for a while to my own realm, where there is much to heal and set in order. But as for the Fallen, when all is made ready we will return for him; but here let him sleep a while. And E´ owyn said to Faramir: Now I must go back to my own land and look on it once again, and help my brother in his labour; but when one whom I long loved as father is laid at last to rest, I will return. So the glad days passed; and on the eighth day of May the Riders of Rohan made ready, and rode off by the North-way, and with them 970 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS went the sons of Elrond. All the road was lined with people to do them honour and praise them, from the Gate of the City to the walls of the Pelennor. Then all others that dwelt afar went back to their homes rejoicing; but in the City there was labour of many willing hands to rebuild and renew and to remove all the scars of war and the memory of the darkness. The hobbits still remained in Minas Tirith, with Legolas and Gimli; for Aragorn was loth for the fellowship to be dissolved. At last all such things must end, he said, but I would have you wait a little while longer: for the end of the deeds that you have shared in has not yet come. A day draws near that I have looked for in all the years of my manhood, and when it comes I would have my friends beside me. But of that day he would say no more. In those days the Companions of the Ring dwelt together in a fair house with Gandalf, and they went to and fro as they this web page. And Frodo said to Gandalf: Do you know what this day is that Aragorn speaks of. For we are happy here, and I dont wish to go; but the days are running away, and Bilbo is waiting; and the Shire is my home. As for Bilbo, said Gandalf, he is waiting for the same day, and he knows what keeps you. And as for the passing of the days, it is now only May and high summer is not yet in; and though all things may seem changed, as if an age of the world had gone by, yet to the trees and the grass it is less than a year since you set out. Pippin, said Frodo, didnt you say that Gandalf was less close than of old. He was weary of his labours then, I think. Now he is recovering. And Gandalf said: Many folk like to know beforehand what is to be set on the table; but those who have laboured to prepare the feast like to keep their secret; for wonder makes the words of praise louder. And Aragorn himself waits for a sign. There came a day when Gandalf could not be found, and the Companions wondered what was going forward. But Gandalf took Aragorn out from the City by night, and he brought him to the southern feet of Mount Mindolluin; and there they found a path made in ages past that few now dared to tread. For it led up on to the mountain to a high hallow where only the kings had been wont to go. And they went up by steep ways, until they came to a high field below the snows that clad the lofty peaks, and it looked down over the precipice that stood behind the City.
I recollect the time when young Frodo Baggins was one of the worst young rascals of Buckland. But it wasnt mushrooms I Pubg gameloop today xbox one thinking of. I had Pubg gameloop today xbox one heard the name 94 T HE L ORD O F THE R Go here Baggins before you turned up. What do you think that funny customer asked me. They waited anxiously for him to go on. Well, the farmer continued, approaching his point with slow relish, he came riding on a big black horse in at the gate, which happened to be open, and right up to my door. All black he was himself, too, and cloaked and hooded up, as if he did not want to be known. Now what in the Shire can he want. I thought to myself. We dont see many of the Big Check this out over the border; and anyway I had never heard of any like this black fellow. Good-day to you. I says, going out to him. This lane dont lead anywhere, and wherever you may be going, your quickest go here will be back to the road. I didnt like the looks of him; and when Grip came out, he took one sniff and let out a yelp as if he had been stung: he put down his tail and bolted public duty call released the year of to howling. The black fellow sat quite still. I come from yonder, he said, slow and stiff-like, pointing back west, over my fields, Pubg gameloop today xbox one you please. Have you seen Baggins. he asked in a queer voice, and bent down towards me. I could not see any face, for his hood fell down so low; and I felt a sort of shiver down my back. But I did not see why he should come riding over my land so bold. Be off. I said. There are no Bagginses here. Youre in the wrong part of the Shire. You had better go back west to Hobbiton but you can go by road this time. Baggins has left, he answered in a whisper. He is coming. He is not far away. I wish to find him. If he passes will you tell me. I will come back with gold. No you wont, I said. Youll go back where you belong, double quick. I give you one minute before I call all my dogs. He gave a sort of hiss. It might have been laughing, and it might Pubg gameloop today xbox one. Then he spurred his great horse right at me, and Pubg gameloop today xbox one jumped out of the way only just in time. Pubg gameloop today xbox one called the dogs, but he swung off, and rode through the screen steam deck review oled and up the lane towards the causeway like a bolt of thunder. What do you think of that. Frodo sat for a moment looking at the fire, but his only thought was how on earth would they reach the Ferry. I dont know what to think, he said at last. Then Ill tell you what to think, said Maggot. You should never have gone mixing yourself up with Hobbiton folk, Mr. Frodo. Folk are queer up there. Sam stirred in his chair, and looked at the farmer with an unfriendly eye. But you were always a reckless lad.
