The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth

[Bêthberry]

But I can only cite Faramir's words to Frodo (don't have the quote to hand) about the Rohirrim being 'middle men' who held feats of arms & martial glory as things to be admired, & how even the Gondorians esteemed such things above music & lore.

Perhaps if you scrolled back up to post #3, davem, you would see that the quote is at hand.
