doug*platypus has just left Hobbiton.
Tolkien

Frodo's version of The Road Goes Ever On is nice (struggling for adjectives).
Still round the corner there may wait
a new road or a secret gate
and though I oft have passed them by
the day will come at last when I
shall take the hidden paths that run
west of the moon and east of the sun.

A new road or a secret gate, that's something I'm always looking out for. I think about that line quite a bit.

But my favourite is definitely The Flammifer of Westernesse. I can't decided whether I like that version or the one called Errantry better. They're both great pieces of work.
