awesome video and music;)

[PatriaFinlandia]

Tie vain jatkuu jatkumistaan / The Road goes ever on and on

ovelta mistä sen alkavan näin. / Down from the door where it began.

Nyt se on kaukana edessäpäin, / Now far ahead the Road has gone,

muut seuratkoot sitä jos jaksavat vaan! / Let others follow it who can!

jaloin innokkain vaeltaen / Pursuing it with eager feet,

minä jaloin uupunein vaeltaen / But I at last with weary feet

paikassa johon moni polku johtaa. / Where many paths and errands meet.

Song in Finnish and English ^^

[BrajaDanielleJaly]

The Road goes ever on and on,

Out from the door where it began

Now far ahead the Road has gone

Let others follow it who can

Let them a journey new begin

But I at last with weary feet

Will turn towards the lighted inn

My evening-rest and sleep to meet

what are all the Pictures of

[stmaurmusic]

The pictures are of Wytham Woods, which are on a hill just outside Oxford. It is likely that Tolkien was familiar with these woods, which belong to the University, though there is no particular mention of them in Humphrey Carpenter's biography of him.
