Boromir stood irresolute and did not follow. "Is there no other way? A plain road, though it led through a hedge of swords. By strange paths has this Company been led, and so far to evil fortune. Against my will we passed under the shades of Moria, to our loss. And now we must enter the Golden Wood, you say. But of that perilous land we have heard in Gondor, and it is said that few come out who go in; and of that few none have escaped unscathed."

"Then lead on! But it is perilous."

"To me it seemed exceedingly strange. Maybe it was only a test, and she thought to read our thoughts for her own good purpose; but almost I should have said that she was tempting us, and offering what she pretended to have the power to give. It need not be said that I refused to listen. The Men of Minas Tirith are true to their word." But what he thought that the Lady had offered him Boromir did not tell. And as for Frodo, he would not speak, though Boromir pressed him with questions. "She held you long in her gaze, Ring-bearer. Well, have a care! I do not feel too sure of this Elvish Lady and her purposes."

"As for me, my way home lies onward and not back."

"If my advice is heeded, it will be the western shore, and the way to Minas Tirith. But I am not the leader of the Company."

"I shall go to Minas Tirith, alone if need be, for it is my duty," said Boromir; and after that he was silent for a while, sitting with his eyes fixed on Frodo, as if he was trying to read the Halfling's thoughts. At length he spoke again, softly, as if he was debating with himself. "If you wish only to destroy the Ring, then there is little use in war and weapons; and the men of Minas Tirith cannot help. But if you wish to destroy the armed might of the Dark Lord, then it is folly to go without force into his domain; and folly to throw away." He paused suddenly, as if he had become aware that he was speaking his thoughts aloud. "It would be folly to throw our lives away, I mean," he ended. "It is a choice between defending a strong place and walking openly into the arms of death. At least, that is how I see it." Frodo caught something new and strange in Boromir's glance, and he looked hard at him. Plainly Boromir's thought was different from his final words. It would be folly to throw away: what? The Ring of Power? He had said something like this at the Council, but then he had accepted the correction of Elrond. Frodo looked at Aragorn, but he seemed deep in his own thought and made no sign that he had heeded Boromir's words.

"Indeed we have heard of Fanghorn in Minas Tirith, but what I have heard seems to me for the most part old wives' tales, such as we tell to our children. All that lies north of Rohan is now to us so far away that fancy can wander freely there. Of old Fanghorn lay upon the borders of our realm; but it is now many lives of men since any of us visited it, to prove or disprove the legends that have come down from distant years. I have myself been at whiles in Rohan, but I have never crossed it northwards. When I was sent out as a messenger, I passed through the Gap by the skirts of the White Mountains, and crossed the Isen and the Greyflood into Northerland. A long and wearisome journey. Four hundred leagues I reckoned it, and it took me many months; for I lost my horse at Tharbad, at the fording of the Greyflood. After that journey, and the road I have trodden with this Company, I do not much doubt that I shall find a way through Rohan, and Fanghorn too, if need be."

The Lady bowed her head, and she turned then
to Boromir, and to him she gave a belt of gold.

"I will find no rest here...I heard a voice inside my head. She spoke of my father and the fall of Gondor. She said to me even now, there is hope left. But I cannot see it. It has been long since we had any hope. My father is an noble man, but his rule is failing, and...and our people lose faith. He looks to me to make things right. And...I...I would do it. I would see the glory of Gondor restored."

"Have you ever seen it, Aragorn? The white tower of Ecthelion, glimmering like a spike of pearl and silver! Its banners caught high in the morning breeze! Have you ever been called home by the clear ringing of silver trumpets?"

"One day our paths will lead us there & the tower guard will take up the call ' The Lords of Gondor Have Returned! ' "
