Gonzalo Díez García – Chapu – Samwise Gamgee – Shelob
As if his indomitable spirit
had set its potency in motion,
the glass blazed suddenly
like a white torch in his hand. […]

Rc – Tolkien – LotR – Faramir – Patience
<<<
‘Patience!’ said Faramir,
but without anger.
‘Do not speak before your master,
whose wit is greater than yours.
And I do not need any
to teach me of our peril. […]

In that hour of trial
it was the love of his master
that helped most to hold him firm; […]
Rc – Tolkien – LotR – Certainly gardeners are honoured
‘… You are a new people
and a new world to me.
Are all your kin of like sort?
Your land must be
a realm of peace and content,
and there must gardeners
be in high honour.’
‘Not all is well there,’

Rc – Tolkien – Lotr – Orcs – Where there’s a whip there’s a will
They did not have to wait long.
The orcs were going at a great pace.
Those in the foremost files bore torches.

red flames in the dark,
swiftly growing.
Now Sam too bowed his head,

when the torches reached them;
and he set their shields
before their knees
to hide their feet. […]

Nearly all of the nobility of Tolkien’s characters
has been sucked out of Jackson’s postmodern «reimagining.»
Other than Sam, Tolkien’s Faramir is the most admirable character […]
Rc – Tolkien – LotR – This nice friendliness
For a while the hobbits sat in silence. At length Sam stirred. ‘Well I call that neat as neat,’ he said. ‘If this nice friendliness would spread about in Mordor, half our trouble would be over.’
‘Quietly, Sam,’ Frodo whispered. ‘There may be others about. We have evidently had a very narrow escape, and the hunt […]
Rc – Tolkien – LotR – For ever beyond its reach
There, peeping among the cloud-wrack
above a dark tower high up in the mountains,
Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while.
The beauty of it smote his heart,
as he looked up out of the forsaken land,
and hope returned to him.
For like a shaft, clear and cold,
the thought pierced […]
