Here we are, Election Eve 2004. Spent most of today glad it will be over soon. Now that the early dark's upon us, however, I've started getting all philosophical, and that scene from ROTK popped into my head. You know:
Peregrine Took: It's so quiet.
Gandalf: It's the deep breath, before the plunge.
Peregrine Took: I don't want to be in a battle. But waiting on the edge of one I can't escape is even worse.
Yeah, it feels like that.
Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.
Vote. Please.
I can't think of a better metaphor for the silence before the war of middle earth- Gandalf always has his act together, as well as an excellent widespread bit of wit and grammar. Perfect for wizarding. Thumbs up. (And Pippin is the best hobbit ever.)
