Загадка идущего вперёд
Что ценно, то не сверкает,
Забыты скитальцы не все;
Крепкий старик не умирает,
Мороз не тронет корней в глубине.
В углях огонь снова проснется ,
В сумраке свет не станет ждать,
Меч разбитый перекуётся,
Раскоронован, Король опять.
The Riddle of Strider
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien
1892 - 1973
‘The Riddle of Strider’ by J.R.R. Tolkien depicts story highlights for one character from The Lord of the Rings. That character is Aragorn, from his heritage to his becoming “king.' He is discussed as “[a] light” in the dark times of the tale, which both gives understanding to Aragorn’s character and provides a moral for the reader to take from the poem. So long as a person is willing to take responsibility for their actions and focus on what needs to be done, “light” can be found among “the shadows” that life offers through strength that exists from within.
