Tolkien Favorite Tolkien-esque line

It is doubtful that any of us would have read all of such a tome as Lord of the Rings if it weren't written by such a genius as our beloved Professor Tolkien. What's your favorite line that only Tolkien could have thought up?

My favorites are "...or in high cold towers asking questions of the stars." "It's the deep breath before the pludge." (Anyone else would have said the trite "It's the calm beforethe storm, but not Tolkien. And in over fifty years no one's copied it, they all still say calm before the storm.) and "Ithilien, the garden of Gondor, kept still a disheveled dryad loveliness."
