Frodo's lament


For those of us who don't mind Pastor Allen's quotes from Lord of the Rings (but with thanks to him for making the disclaimer on Sunday anyway!) here is the text of the conversation he quoted in his sermon on Sunday:

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us. And already, Frodo, our time is beginning to look black. The Enemy is fast becoming very strong. His plans are far from ripe, I think, but they are ripening. We shall be hard put to it. We should be very hard put to it, even if it were not for this dreadful chance."
