When I read about how all their wives disappeared I had a good laugh. They must have seen so much in their lifetimes. The Ents are old even by Middle-Earth standards. Talking Trees? Trees that throw rocks and kill evil orcs? What’s not to rave about. He was a better man that his brother, and why his farther didn’t see it I will never no. He was a captain that men would follow, that he would follow, even under the shadow of the black wings." He knew now why Beregond spoke his name with love. "Here was one with an air of high nobility such as Aragorn at times revealed, less high perhaps, yet also less incalculable and remote: one of the Kings of Men born into a later time, but touched with the wisdom and sadness of the Eldar Race.

And this I also say: you are our captain and our banner.
