This echoing I have always found to be one of the most inexplicably powerful moments in
The Lord of the Rings: there is something I can't define about that symbol of hope appearing, and that reconnection to the beloved and comfortable narrative of
The Hobbit in this point at which all hopes seem to have failed at last.
Of course, by adapting
The Lord of the Rings before
The Hobbit, this, like so many other things, is lost...
