Quotes from Tolkien's Novel
|
|

| |
| To the Misty Mountains: Caradhras. |
"It was the cold chill hour before the first stir of dawn, and the moon was low.
Frodo looked up at the sky. Suddenly he saw or felt a shadow pass over the high stars, as if for a moment they faded
and then flashed out again. He shivered." |
| |
|
"On the third morning, Caradhras rose before them, a mighty peak, tipped with snow like
silver, but with sheer naked sides, dull red as if stained with blood." |
| |
|
'Snow's all right on a fine morning, but I like to be in bed while it's falling. I
wish this lot would go off to Hobbiton! Folk might welcome it there.' (Sam) |
| |
"The Company halted suddenly, as if they had come to an agreement without any words
being spoken. They heard eerie noises in the darkness round them. It may have been only a trick of the wind in the cracks
and gullies of the rocky wall, but the sounds were those of shrill cries, and wild howls of laughter. Stones began to
fall from the mountain-side, whistling over their heads, or crashing on the path beside them. [...]
'We cannot go further tonight,' said Boromir. 'Let those call it the wind who will; there are fell voices on the
air; and these stones are aimed at us.' [...]
'Caradhras was called the Cruel, and had an ill name,' said Gimli, 'long years ago, when rumour of Sauron had not
been heard in these lands.' " |
