The Argonath by Ted Nasmith

As Frodo was borne towards them the great pillars rose like towers to meet him. Giants they seemed to him, vast grey figures silent but threatening. Then he saw that they were indeed shaped and fashioned: the craft and power of old had wrought upon them, and still they preserved through the suns and rains of forgotten years the mighty likenesses in which they had been hewn. Upon great pedestals founded in the deep waters stood two great kings of stone: still with blurred eyes and crannied brows they frowned upon the North. The left had of each was raised palm outwards in gesture of warning; in each right hand there was an axe; upon each head there was a crumbling helm and crown. Great power and majesty they still wore, the silent wardens of a long-vanished kingdom.

~ J.R.R. Tolkien, from The Great River

Yay for you!

Of course, I am expecting a review of the film from you(after you complete your assignments, naturally). ;-)

Adrian, I will certainly be putting a review here! =) It might take a while though. I have to grade papers for two days after I watch the movie!
