more of Treebeard's wisdom
[on the Ents' loss of the Entwives]
[on the Ents' loss of the Entwives]"Our sorrow was very great...And now the Entwives are only a memory for us, and our beards are old and grey...But we made no songs about it, being content to [say] their beautiful names when we thought of the Entwives. We believe that we may meet again in a time to come, and perhaps we shall find somewhere a land where we can live together and both be content. But it is foreboded that that will only be when we have both lost all that we now have. And it may well be that that time is drawing near at last." - The Two Towers

I was actually thinking I liked it -- seems hopeful somehow (am I just morbid?)
it's very hopeful: "We believe that we may meet again in a time to come...And it may well be that that time is drawing near at last."
