Eyes that fire and sword have seen And horror in the halls of stone Look at last on meadows green And trees and hills they long have known

But you cannot trust us to let you face trouble alone, and go off without a word. We are your friends, Frodo.
J. R. R. TolkienRead
I don't know what to do!" cried Scrooge, laughing and crying in the same breath; and making a perfect Laocoön of himself with his stockings.
