  1. happy birthday @cciurlizza and Happy Tolkien Reading Day to everyone!
  2. Perhaps even the Master that ruled them could not have said.
  3. But who knows how Gollum came by that present, ages ago in the old days when such rings were still at large in the world?
  4. So he had always said to himself.
  5. "My birthday-present! It came to me on my birthday, my precious,"
  6. only in the full sunlight could you be seen, and then only by your shadow, and that would be shaky and faint.
  7. He wanted it because it was a ring of power, and if you slipped that ring on your finger, you were invisible;
  8. "My birthday present!" he whispered to himself, as he had often done in the endless dark days. "That's what we wants now, yes; we wants it!"
  9. He had a ring, a golden ring, a precious ring.
  10. "Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth" from Morgoth's Ring
  11. Amdir you have not, you say. Does no Estel at all abide?’
  12. of all His designs the issue must be for His Children’s joy.
  13. This is the last foundation of Estel, which we keep even when we contemplate the End:
  14. not by any Enemy, not even by ourselves.
  15. If we are indeed the Eruhin, the Children of the One, then He will not suffer Himself to be deprived of His own,
  16. It is not defeated by the ways of the world, for it does not come from experience, but from our nature and first being.
  17. But there is another which is founded deeper. Estel we call it, that is "trust".
  18. 'That is one thing that Men call "hope",' said Finrod. 'Amdir we call it, "looking up".
  19. 'What is hope?' she said. 'An expectation of good, which though uncertain has some foundation in what is known? Then we have none.'
