piosenniel is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
I really should go to bed - it is 3 a.m. here . . .

But I can't resist!

Quote:
Then the Messenger of Mordor laughed no more, His face was twisted with amazement and anger to the likeness of some wild beast that, as it crouches on its prey, is smitten on the muzzle with a stinging rod. Rage filled him and his mouth slavered, and shapeless sounds of fury came strangling from his throat. But he looked at the fell faces of the Captains and their deadly eyes, and fear overcame his wrath . . .
And pardon if I quote overlong - but I love the way Tolkien brings the images to life with his choice of words and phrasings.

Good night!
