‘Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered. It is a sword-day; a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride now! Ride now! Ride for ruin, and the world’s ending! Forth Eorlingas!’
-Theoden, to the Rohirrim (JRR Tolkien, Return of the King)
The quote doesn’t precisely fit the image, but when I saw this fiery dawn, Theoden’s words were exactly what came to mind. It’s one of my favorite quotes ever.
That probably says something about my general outlook on life.
That quote is tied with “and I brought me up guns out of avalon” for my favorite quote ever.
Good picture.
