My favorites would have to be Bilbo's farewell from The Ring Goes South, and particularly the line
"Red fell the dew from Rammas Echor" from RotK. Ah heck, I like 'em all.
"All that is gold glitters
All those who wander are lost.
The old that is strong withers,
Deep roots are reached by the frost.
An ash from the fire shall be woken,
A shadow from light shall spring.
Broken will remain blade that is broken,
The crownless shall never be king."
I did that a long time ago. It used to be the funniest thing in the world to me. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
