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 pubg wallpaper keren 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 Steam support mobile 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 shone 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 has 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 make 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 to 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 verification rust game tag blue id. Here is Aragorn son click to see more 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 voice. 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 click the following article Great Sea to Middle-earth I am come. In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto Steam support mobile ending of the world. Then to the wonder of many Aragorn did not put the crown more info 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, https://strategygamespc.cloud/fallout/steampod-new-york.php 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 see more 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 the hills of Emyn Arnen within sight of the City. For, said he, Minas 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 among the Kings of Gondor, if you will. Or if you desire it, we will come to Rohan article source 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.

Are we trapped. Who are they. Gollum looked up. A dark water was before him, and he was crawling on the ground, this way and that, doubtful of the way. Yes, they are all round us, he whispered. The tricksy lights. Candles of corpses, yes, yes. Dont Pubg game controller wallpaper heed them. Dont look. Dont follow them. Wheres the master. Sam looked back and found that Frodo had lagged again. He could not see him. He went some paces back into the darkness, not daring to move Pubg game controller wallpaper, or to call in more than a hoarse whisper. Suddenly he stumbled against Frodo, who was standing lost in thought, looking at the pale lights. His hands hung stiff at his sides; water and slime were dripping from them. Come, Mr. Frodo. said Sam. Dont look at them. Gollum says we mustnt. Lets keep up with him and get out of this cursed place as quick as we can if we can. All right, said Frodo, as if returning out of a dream. Im coming. Go on. Hurrying forward again, Sam tripped, catching his foot in some old root or Pubg game controller wallpaper. He fell and came heavily on his hands, which sank deep into sticky ooze, so that his face was brought close to the surface of the dark mere. There was a faint hiss, a noisome smell went up, the lights flickered and danced and swirled. For a moment the water below him looked like some window, glazed with grimy glass, through which he was peering. Wrenching his hands out of the bog, he sprang back with a cry. There are dead things, dead faces in the water, he said with horror. Dead faces. 628 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS Gollum laughed. The Dead Marshes, yes, yes: that is their name, he cackled. You should not look in when the candles are lit. Who are they. What are they. asked Sam shuddering, turning to Frodo, who was now behind him. I Pubg game controller wallpaper know, said Frodo in a dreamlike voice. But I have seen them too. In the pools when the candles were lit. They lie in all the pools, pale faces, deep deep under the dark water. I saw them: grim faces and evil, and noble faces and sad. Many faces proud and fair, and weeds in their silver hair. But all foul, all rotting, all dead. A fell light is in them. Frodo hid his eyes in his hands. I know not who they are; but I thought I saw there Men and Elves, and Orcs beside them. Yes, yes, said Gollum. All dead, all rotten. Elves and Men and Orcs. The Dead Marshes. There was a great battle long ago, yes, so they told him when Sme´agol was young, when I was young before the Precious came. It was a great battle. Tall Men with long swords, and terrible Elves, and Orcses shrieking. They fought on the plain for days and months at the Black Gates. But the Marshes have grown since then, baldurs gate xbox series x image up the graves; always creeping, creeping. But that is an age and more ago, said Sam. The Dead cant be really there. Is it some devilry hatched in the Dark Land. Who knows. Sme´agol doesnt know, answered Gollum. You cannot reach them, you cannot touch them. We tried once, yes, precious. I tried once; Pubg game controller wallpaper you cannot reach them. Only shapes to see, perhaps, trailer 1.6 counter strike to touch. No precious. All dead. Sam looked darkly at him and shuddered again, thinking that he guessed why Sme´agol had tried to touch them. Well, I dont want to see them, he said. Never again. Cant we get on and get away. Yes, yes, said Gollum. But slowly, very slowly. Very carefully.
