It is said by Gilraen, Aragorn´s mother, and it means I gave hope to the men, (and) didn´t keep hope for myself.
(i´m not sure about the translation)

The two trees of Valinor were on a knoll 7 yards above sealevel, which is 70956 miles above the center of Valinor and The two trees' hight's added together were 74 feet tall from roots, to top (they are exactly the same height) then Ongoliant came and broke them each in half.

here are the questions
1)how far above sea level were the tops of the full trees
2)how far was it from the center of vilinor to the tops of the full trees
3)what is the diameter of valinor
4)how tall was one broken tree from root to "top"

From whence came the Nazgul?
__________________
Know ye People, that between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities, And the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles beneath the stars.

Hither came Carlton, the King, black haired, bronze hued, mightily thewed, sullen eyed. Sword in hand, a warrior, a destroyer, a conqueror. With gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jewelled thrones of the Earth, under his sandalled feet.
