Daily Dialogue — May 19, 2020

“Where is the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? They have passed like rain on the mountain, like wind in the meadow. The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow. How did it come to this?”

— The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002), screenplay Fran Walsh & Philippa Boyens & Stephen Sinclair & Peter Jackson, story J.R.R. Tolkien
