sit by the firelight’s glow
tell us an old tale we know
sing of adventure strange and rare
never to change
ever to share
stories we tell will cast their spell
now and for always

frodo and sam cast the first ring into the fire at stonewall

middleearthsource:

I made a promise, Mr. Frodo. A promise: “Don’t you leave him, Samwise Gamgee.”
And I don’t mean to. I don’t mean to.

sam sends frodo pictures of snails he sees in the garden because he knows they make him happy but he always adds captions that say something like “bastard” or “i hate him”

frodo: give him a kiss from me :)

sam: he only deserves the kiss of death

frodo: :0

J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

rereading these passages between the two of them & I think The Lord of the Rings is as much a failed love story as it is a work of epic fantasy. Frodo going into dawn and Sam going into evening, into darkness (the light of the world leaves him, and Frodo goes with it). right before this passage Frodo makes a remark— “you cannot be always torn in two.you will have to be one and whole for many years” — and it’s… it’s just devastatingly wrong, bitterly wrong. Frodo leaving didn’t stop that. all it meant was Sam would stare longer and longer into the west, waiting to see him again.
