Hiya all! I'm Wandering Ranger, a regular on the www.lotrfans.co.uk if anybody goes onto there. I am a big Tolkien fan and love Tolkien's World, particularly LOTR and The Hobbit. I awaited the movies with much anticipation (has ti really been 5 years since ROTK?) and am eagerly awaiting The Hobbit and Film 2. I just thought I'd say hi as I finally decided to reigster after many months of lurking.

Pull up a chair and dive in on all the fun.
May your beer be laid under an enchantment of surpassing excellence for seven years!

Listen. Strange women lying in ponds, distributing swords, is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony!

Come abide by the fire for a spell. Glad that you found our camp. There be good times to be had here so get comfortable and join in with thought and laughter.
So what news have ye of your travels?
"Tolkien, like Lewis, believed that, through story, the real world would become a more magical place, full of meaning. We see its patterns and colors in a fresh way. The recovery of a true view of the world applies both to individual things, like hills and stones, and to the cosmic - the depths of space and time itself. For in sub-creation, in Tolkien's view, there is a "survey" of space and time. Reality is captured on a miniature scale. Through stories like The Lord of the Rings, a renewed view of things is given, illuminating the homely, the spiritial, the physical, and the moral dimensions of the world."
Tolkien and C.S. Lewis- The Gift of Friendship -Duriez
After Sunset
I have an understanding with the hills
At evening, when slanted radiance fills
Their hollows, and the great winds let them be,
And they are quiet and look down at me.
Oh, then I see the patience in their eyes
Out of the centuries that made them wise.
They lend me hoarded memory, and I learn
Their thoughts of granite and their whims of fern,
And why a dream of forests must endure
Though every tree be slain; and how the pure,
Invisible beauty has a word so brief
A flower can say it, or a shaken leaf,
But few may ever snare it in a song,
Though for the quest a life is not too long.
When the blue hills grow tender, when they pull
The twilight close with gesture beautiful,
And shadows are their garments, and the air
Deepens, and the wild veery is at prayer,
Their arms are strong around me; and I know
That somehow I shall follow where you go
To the still land beyond the evening star,
Where everlasting hills and valleys are,
And silence may not hurt us any more,
And terror shall be past, and grief and war.
Grace Hazard Conkling (conclusion of a song recital from the book Lake Minnewaska by W Doughty where he says ''this is not the end of songs which we are certain will continue to rise from gifted minds and hearts in this enchanted realm where sometimes 'great mists lie' but always where 'great dreams rise' ''.) ...Reminds me particularly of the elves and the ents
May the grace of Manwë let us soar with eagle's wings!
In the air, among the clouds in the sky
Here is where the birds of Manwe fly
Looking at the land, and the water that flows
The true beauty of earth shows
With the stars of Varda lighting my way
In all the realms this is where I stay
In the realm of Manwë Súlimo
By El~Cugu
From the website: 'The Realm of Manwe'

I often lurk on the lotrfans.co.uk. Not much going on there lately. Hopefully we'll start hearing things about the project in Cologne. I've seen the musical in Toronto and London, and I adore it! You'll love it here! Things are getting really interesting Hobbit-wise. Stay tuned!

Isn't this an exciting time - "ground floor" of the making of The Hobbit!
Welcome to TORn, there's always plenty to do around here!

Glad you decided to de-lurk. This is a perfect place for Rangers to rest and find a bit of company
I do not suffer from LotR obsession - I enjoy every minute of it.

you've decided to come in from the shadows :D Things are beginning to get very exciting now that they're working on the screenplays for the 2 films... so I'm looking forward to hearing what you think!
Cheers!
"Barney Snow was here." ~Hug like a hobbit!~ "In my heaven..."
I really need these new films to take me back to, and not re-introduce me to, that magical world.
