And here you shall stay, Gandalf the Grey, and rest from your journeys. For I am Saruman the Wise, Saruman the Ring-maker, Saruman of Many Colours!"
Gandalf recounting Saruman The Fellowship of the Ring, Council of Elrond


"'And he who breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom'"
Gandalf recounting speaking to Saruman The Fellowship of the Ring, Council of Elrond


Gil-galad was an Elven-king
Of him the harpers sadly sing:
the las whose realm was fair and free
between the Mountains and the Sea.

His sword was long, his lance was keen,
his shining helm afar was seen;
the countless stars of heaven's field
were mirrored in his silver shield.

But long ago he rode away,
and where he dwelleth none can say;
for into the darkness fell his star
in Mordor where the shadows are.

The Fellowship of the Ring (1954) A Knife In The Dark told by Sam Gamgee

Seek for the Sword that was broken:
In Imladris it dwells:
There shall be counsels taken
Stronger than Morgul-spells.
There shall be shown a token
That Doom is near at hand,
For Isildur's Bane shall waken,
And the Halfling forth shall stand.

Fellowship of the Ring (1954) The Council Of Elrond, The Dream of Boromir

Cold be hand and heart and bone,
and cold be sleep under stone:
never more to wake on stony bed,
never, till the sun fails and Moon is dead.
in the black wind stars shall die,
and still on gold here let them lie,
till the dark lord lifts his hand
over dead sea and withered land.
