“Do you feel any need to leave the Shire now — now that your wish to see them has come true already?” he [Frodo Baggins] asked. | |
“Yes, sir. I don’t know how to say it, but after last night I feel different. I seem to see ahead, in a kind of way. I know we are going to take a very long road, into darkness; but I know I can’t turn back. It isn’t to see Elves now, nor dragons, nor mountains, that I want — I don’t rightly know what I want: but I have something to do before the end and it lies ahead, not in the Shire. I must see it through, sir, if you understand me.” [Samwise Gamgee (“Sam the Brave”)] | |
— J. R. R. Tolkien | |
From his book: “The Fellowship Of The Ring“ | |
