not all those who wander are lost...

"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..."

the quote running thru my head fr quite some time now..The Lord of The Rings..an awsum book made into an equally fantasic movie series..the best adaptation of a novel i hav seen so far..and definitely waaaay better than the HP franchise..(dont understand how they managed to muck that one up so bad..)..but then tolkein had a magic in his writing that jkr can never quite match up to..and which was expertly captured by peter jackson for the movie version..

hmmm..well this is one of my fav quotes frm lotr (wont bother explaining it..would take ages and run into pages..heyy that rhymes!!!)..this and the "One Ring" quote:

"Ash nazg durbatulûk..Ash nazg gimbatul..
Ash nazg thrakatulûk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul..."

"One Ring to rule them all..One Ring to find them..
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them..."

has kinda an intensity to it..sort of..a tug..a pull..cant really explain it..its like when you hear it..you get goosebumps..well not really..but close..like when you hear "my heart will go on..."..again not quite..

anyway..no other words spouting out right now..so guess this is it..
maybe il edit it to a longer post later..
ciao fr now..
