A POEM FROM THE LORD OF THE RINGS BY J.R.R. TOLKIEN
The Lord of the Rings trilogy has undoubtedly been an inspiration to many of us. This impressive story, which gives a different perspective to all readers of any age, is now the subject of a tattoo with a poem it contains.
This poem is a song about Bilbo Baggins handing over his ring to Frodo. The first verse of this poem, inspired by the endless struggle of good and evil, death and immortality, destiny and free will, the corruption brought on by excessive power, the all-seeing eye and the Mount Doom, becomes a stunning fine-line tattoo design with sacred geometry.
The Old Walking Song
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with weary feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
The Road goes ever on and on
Out from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
Let others follow it who can!
Let them a journey new begin,
But I at last with weary feet
Will turn towards the lighted inn,
My evening-rest and sleep to meet.
