33.

This poem appeared twice in The Fellowship of the Ring. I particularly like the second line.


All that is gold does not glitter,
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.
          -J.R.R. Tolkien
