Iarwain has just left Hobbiton.

yes, close enough. It is about gandalf's fall.


Hopes are shattered -Gandalf the Grey falls

Dreams awaken -Gandalf the White comes

The old three cornered hat is taken -this is very much a peculiar connection that I make in my mind. I connect tricorns to America's colonial period, and when thinking of the colonial period, I think of the first settlers, who called themselves "pilgrims". Gandalf was, of course the Grey Pilgrim, and as he was taken away in Moria.

Things expected broke asunder -you were correct here

As they fell completely under -Gandalf falls into the chasm, presumably with the broken bits of his staff

out of thought and the depths of time -in the White Rider, the quote is "out of thought and time"

returning then, sweetly sublime -indeed

Your turn Voralphion,
Iarwian
