"The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say."
J.R.R. Tolkien, Lord of the Rings

Yksi sormus löytää heidät, se yksi heitä hallitsee, se yksi heidät yöhön syöksee ja pimeyteen kahlitsee maassa Mordorin, joka varjojen saartama on."

Un anillo para gobernarlos a todos, un anillo para encontrarlos, un anillo para traerlos a todos y, en la oscuridad, atarlos en la tierra de mordor, donde yacen las sombras."

Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring:
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king."
