• It is easy enough to say that man is immortal simply because he will endure: that when the last ding-dong of doom has clanged and faded from the last worthless rock hanging tideless in the last red and dying evening, that even then there will still be one more sound: that of his puny inexhaustible voice, still talking.

• I must indeed abide the Doom of Men whether I will or nill: the loss and the silence.

For if this is indeed, as the Elves say, the gift of the One to Men, it is bitter to receive.

'I supposed I won't see you for a while, so farewell, best of luck, avoid roasted cabbage, don't eat earwax, and look on the bright side of life!'

• What humans want most of all, is to be right. Even if we're being right about our own doom.

  And dipt in baths of hissing tears,
  And batter'd with the shocks of doom,
  To shape and use.
