Poetry Quote by J.R.R. Tolkien — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Indeed if fish had fish-lore and Wise-fish, it is probable that the business of anglers would be very little hindered.”

““Journey’s end”

“Out of the darkness of my life, so much frustrated, I put before you the one great thing to love on earth: the Blessed Sacrament … There you will find romance, glory, honour, fidelity, and the true way of all your loves upon earth.”

“He that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom.”

“There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after.”

“Far over the misty mountains cold”

“Remember me when I am gone away,”

“A man of my acquaintance once wrote a poem called "The Road Less Traveled", describing a journey he took through the woods along a path most travelers never used. The poet found that the road less traveled was peaceful but quite lonely, and he was probably a bit nervous as he went along, because if anything happened on the road less traveled, the other travelers would be on the road more frequently traveled and so couldn't hear him as he cried for help. Sure enough, that poet is dead.”

“Poetry is the scholar's art.”

“She walked”

“LADY LAZARUS”

“Sometimes, looking at the many books I have at home, I feel I shall die before I come to the end of them, yet I cannot resist the temptation of buying new books. Whenever I walk into a bookstore and find a book on one of my hobbies — for example, Old English or Old Norse poetry — I say to myself, “What a pity I can’t buy that book, for I already have a copy at home.”
