Day 31: Valinor, Stupidity |
That blurry line between stupidity, duty, and courage, by Peregrin Took Often, while marching to the Black Gate, Pippin wondered how he'd landed on that fix. When he volunteered before the Steward-- no, the Palantiri-- no, at the Council of Elrond, Merry and him-- no, no, before that, when they followed Frodo out of The Shire-- no, even before, when they tried to fill the void Bilbo left-- no, while hearing adventures at Bilbo's feet... Many had called him a fool before, but nothing he'd done could be more foolish than this! He'd wished himself home-- only, not really. So, he'd remain a fool 'till the bitter end, but not unchanged. ~the end |
