Hobbit Quote by J.R.R. Tolkien

“Lurking by a stagnant mere, peering in the water as the dark eve fell, I caught him, Gollum. He was covered with green slime. He will never love me, I fear; for he bit me, and I was not gentle. Nothing more did I ever get from his mouth than the marks of his teeth.” quote by J.R.R. Tolkien — Download Open image
