Quote:
Then to the wonder of many Aragorn did not put the crown upon his head, but gave it back to Faramir, and said: 'By the loabour and valour of many I have come into my inheritance. In token of this I would have the Ring-bearer bring teh crown to me, and let Mithrandir set it upon my head, if he will; for he has been the mover of all that has been accomplised, and this is his victory.'
Then Frodo came forward and tookt he crown from Faramir and bore it to Gandalf; and Aragorn knelt, and Gandalf set the White Crown upon his head, and said:
'Now come the days of the King, andmay they be blessed while the thrones of the Valar endure!'
But when Aragorn arose all that behld him gazed in silence, for it seemed to them that he was revealed to them now for the first time. Tall as the sea-kings of old, he stood above all that were near; ancient of days he seemed and yet in the flower of manhood; and wisdom sat upon his brow, and strength and healing were in his hands, and a light was about him. And then Faramir cried:
'Behold the King!'
