I come to you now, at the turn of the tide.
Hi, my name is Denis, I'm 17 years old, and I'm downright obsessed with books of all sorts. As you can most likely tell im an avid Lord of the Rings fan. My blog is 95% Lord of the Rings, and the rest is Game of Thrones. Hope you enjoy.

As a lord was held
for the strength of his body and stoutness of heart.
Much lore he learned, and loved wisdom
but fortune followed him in few desires;
oft wrong and awry what he wrought turned;
what he loved he lost, what he longed for he won not;
and full friendship he found not easily,
nor was lightly loved for his looks were sad.
He was gloom-hearted, and glad seldom
for the sundering sorrow that filled his youth.“The Lay of the Children of Húrin” - The Lays of Beleriand - HoME - J.R.R. Tolkien
Each new Steward indeed took office with the oath “to hold rod and rule in the name of the king, until he shall return.” But these soon became words of ritual little heeded, for the Stewards exercised all the power of the kings. Yet many in Gondor still believed that a king would indeed return in some time to come; and some remembered the ancient line of the North, which it was rumoured still lived on in the shadows. But against such thoughts the Ruling Stewards hardened their hearts. [They] never sat on the ancient throne; and they wore no crown, and held no sceptre.Appendix A: Annals of the Kings and Rulers, Lord of the Rings
