«I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts; / A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick; / Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels; / Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.»

«He spake well who said that graves are the footprints of angels»
«Don't you know my name yet? That's the only answer. Tell me, who are you alone, yourself and nameless? But you are young and I am old. Eldest, that's what I am. Mark my words, my friends: Tom was here before the river and the trees; Tom remembers the first raindrop and the first acorn. He made paths before the Big People, and saw the little People arriving. He was here before the Kings and the graves and the Barrow-wights. When the Elves passed westward, Tom was here already, before the seas were bent. He knew the dark under the stars when it was fearless - before the Dark Lord came from Outside.»

«I have seen a thousand graves opened, and always perceived that whatever was gone, the teeth and hair remained of those who had died with them. Is not this odd? They go the very first things in youth and yet last the longest in the dust.»
