An excerpt from The Two Towers. King Theoden, my favorite character in The Two Towers and The Return of the King played with amazing power by Bernard Hill, stands ready to receive his armor, overwhelmed by the forces that bear upon his keep, overwhelmed by what has happened to the days of the free West.
Read his words and try and divorce them from the LotR. Do they have context for the days in which we live?
Where is the horse and the rider?
Where is the horn that was blowing?
They have passed like rain on the mountain,
like wind in the meadow.
The days have gone down in the West
behind the hills into shadow.
How did it come to this?
