Possibly it means that, like Gondor of old, the power of Rohan is diminshing and <I>(at the time the quote is said both in the film-Theoden and the book-Aragorn)</I> times look dark. The power and splendour of the horse lords of old is gone. Eorl and his mount are dead, the horn of Helm blows no more (metaphorically).<P>well thats my opinion.
