Blinger Thursday 11/29/12
All this last day, Frodo had not spoken, but had walked half-bowed, often stumbling, as if his eyes no longer saw the way before his feet. Sam guessed that among all their pains he bore the worst, the growing weight of the ring, a burden on the body and a torment to his mind.
- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King
