The hobbits did not understand [Bombadil's] words, but as he spoke they had a vision as it were of a great expanse of years behind them, like a vast shadowy plain over which there strode shapes of Men, tall and grim with bright swords, and last came one with a star on his brow.

In his living face they caught a brief vision of the power and majesty of the kings of stone. For a moment it seemed to the eyes of Legolas that a whilte flame flickered on the brows of Aragorn like a shining crown.

[Aragorn] was clad in black mail girt with silver, and he wore a long mantle of pure white slasped at the throat with a great jewel of green that shone from afar; but his head was bare save for a star on his forehead, bound by a slender fillet of silver.
