"The Last March of the Ents"
2022
'Round and round the rock of Orthanc the Ents went striding and storming like a howling gale...'
-"The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers", by J.R.R. Tolkien
One of the most cathartic moments in the whole of Lord of the Rings, if one happens to be a nature lover like me: the shepherds of the forest using the awesome forces of wood, water, rock and stone to destroy Saruman's war industry. This scene drives home better than any other Tolkien's environmental messages, and it's perhaps more relevant today than when it was first written. A reminder that in the confrontation between human industry and nature, nature will always win; it may dwindle and suffer irreparable loss, but it will, in the end, still win. It's only a matter if we will stand with it or against it.

He wondered what the man's name was and where he came from; and if he was really evil of heart, or what lies or threats had led him on the long march from his home; and if he would not really rather have stayed there in peace.
-"The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers", by J.R.R. Tolkien
A small scene from a small passage, but a very significant one in that it portrays Tolkien's antiwar thoughts. I am glad that in the Extended Edition they give those lines over to Faramir, him being after all not a warrior by choice.
