Return of the King quote of the day:

For the last week before Return of the King comes to theatres, I have decided to run particularly good snatches of Tolkien's prose (and poetry!) by way of a countdown.
So, without further ado, T-minus 1 week and counting:

"So passed the sword of the Barrow-downs, work of Westernesse. But glad would he have been to know its fate who wrought it slowly long ago in the North-kingdom when the Dúnedain were young, and chief among their foes was the dread realm of Angmar and its sorcerer king. No other blade, not though mightier hands had wielded it, would have dealt that foe a wound so bitter, cleaving the undead flesh, breaking the spell that knit his unseen sinews to his will."

           ~Lord of the Rings, Book V, Chapter 6
