“It is not given to everyone to have his private tasks of meditation and reflection so happily coincident with the public interest that it becomes difficult to judge how far he serves merely himself and how far the public good.” Immanuel Kant

torech ungol

No elvish warrior with ax and bow
had taken Cirith Ungol on the sly.
But Sam with Sting's no negligible foe,
he'd come to win the war, not just to spy.
An Ancient Horror in it for herself
wreaked not of loyal Samwise pumped with rage.
No Numenorean, not mage, nor elf
out-fought this Hobbit in the world's Third Age.
One glimpse of Anduril made old scars ache
and Sauron leapt to crush Isildur's heir.
Two hobbits didn't need another break
to reach the Sammath Naur with no one there.
Wise fool! To leave two Hobbits any room
to infiltrate right to the Crack of Doom.
