Benjy's words in the Sound and the Fury . I wanted to make a poem out of them. I adore his words.

I wanted to start new thread about favourite/ the most remarkable fragments from Tolkien but then I decided to put it here.
I would like to start with this one:
"The first clear word is sorrow, but the rest of the line is lost, unless it ends in estre. Yes, it must be yestre followed by day being the tenth of novembre Balin lord of Moria fell in Dimrill Dale. He went alone to look in Mirrow mere. ..an orc shot him from behind a stone...we slew the orc, but many more...up from east up the Silverlode.(...) We cannot get out...we cannot get out. They have taken the Bridge and second hall. Frar and Loni and Nali fell here. (...) They are coming."
I have always had shivers reading it. It is one of the most moving and sad fragments, I think.
