Through Isengard be strong and hard, as cold as stone and bare as bone,
We go, we go, we go to war, to hew the stone and break the door!
--Pippen's paraphrase of what he remembered from the Entmoot

  • Funny...the same thought was in my head. I hope I`ll meet him in one of his hobit holes...the one near Bilbos...he will be sitting there with Gandalf, Frodo, Bilbo, Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, Sam, Pipin, Merry and C.S.Lewis and other queer folk. Laughing, singing, eating, drinking, listening to some tales of his, and than going on an adventure. Hehe....yes yes...in Heaven...you are welcome to join! ;-)

  • @StefanKoekemoer Same here. My old Caedmon records ( LPs) with JRRT reading from LOTR unfortunately got messed up. I think I bought them in 70s. It is so good to hear this again.

  • I like to imagine it with less movement in tone and more pounding rhythm, seems more fitting to an army of giant trees. But still cool to hear the man himself sing it!

  • @VoteDrRonPaul Don't forget smoking! It couldn't be a true Tolkien adventure without it!

  • Whoa!!!!....the words have power.

    on poem with much, much power!

  • To hear his voice bring his writings to life like this is truly a treat. :D

  • I wish the sound quality was better, but it's still intoxicating to hear this.

  • Thank you so much for posting this. It's incredible to listen to. I've loved many of these recordings, but the Entish one is the best yet.

  • WE COME!

  • It was a joke, son.

  • @mrsbonniemoore Of course it's hasty, it's meant to be hasty. This is when the ents are angered, which is once in an age if ever.
