Summer Quotation for Friday 22nd July

I thought it might be amusing to see if I could collect a quotation a day -
that is, not to go looking for them, but spot them in passing.

This is Friday's - found in Waterstones in Brighton. I should have taken a picture...

It was displayed above a pile of travel books

"Not all who wander are lost" - St Augustine

It sounded familiar (and I haven't summoned the mental strength and stamina for embarking upon the writings of St Augustine yet).

Here we go;

All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,

A light from the shadows shall spring;

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

The crownless again shall be king.

It is from "The Lord of the Rings" by Tolkein. Not St Augustine!

Today is Sunday - I've skipped church - again. Hey - not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither. Deep roots are not reached by the frost. Amen.
