“The Lord of the Rings, The Departure of Boromir.”

No other blade, not though mightier hands had wielded it, would have dealt that foe a wound so bitter, cleaving the undead flesh, breaking the spell that knit his unseen sinews to his will.”

“The Lord of the Rings, The Battle of the Pelennor Fields.”
