Tolkien quote of the day:

Anyway, a difference in the use of 'magic' in this story is that it is not to be come by by 'lore' or spells; but is in an inherent power not possessed or attainable by Men as such. Aragorn's 'healing' might be regarded as 'magical', or at least a blend of magic with pharmacy and 'hypnotic' processes. But it is (in theory) reported by hobbits who have very little notion of philosophy and science; while Aragorn is not a pure 'Man', but at long remove one of the 'children of Lúthien'.

bullet The Breaking Point by shirebound Last Updated: 8/23/2003
Ten days out from Rivendell, Frodo has finally had enough of the bickering between Legolas and Gimli. Somewhat lighthearted, especially at the end.
