Then

evening

comes

:

they

fade

and

twinkle

out

;

the

torches

pass

on

into

another

chamber

and

another

dream

.

There

is

chamber

after

chamber

,

Legolas

;

hall

opening

out

of

hall

,

dome

after

dome

,

stair

beyond

stair

;

and

still

the

winding

paths

lead

on

into

the

mountains

'

heart

.

Caves

!

The

Caverns

of

Helm

's

Deep

!

Happy

was

the

chance

that

drove

me

there

!

It

makes

me

weep

to

leave

them

.

'

'

Then

I

will

wish

you

this

fortune

for

your

comfort

,

Gimli

,

'

said

the

Elf

,

'

that

you

may

come

safe

from

war

and

return

to

see

them

again

.

But

do

not

tell

all

your

kindred

!

There

seems

little

left

for

them

to

do

,

from

your

account

.

Maybe

the

men

of

this

land

are

wise

to

say

little

:

one

family

of

busy

dwarves

with

hammer

and

chisel

might

mar

more

than

they

made

.

'

'N

o

,

you

do

not

understand

,

'

said

Gimli

.

'N

o

dwarf

could

be

unmoved

by

such

loveliness

.

None

of

Durin

's

race

would

mine

those

caves

for

stones

or

ore

,

not

if

diamonds

and

gold

could

be

got

there

.

Do

you

cut

down

groves

of

blossoming

trees

in

the

spring-time

for

firewood

?

We

would

tend

these

glades

of

flowering

stone

,

not

quarry

them

.

With

cautious

skill

,

tap

by

tap

-

a

small

chip

of

rock

and

no

more

,

perhaps

,

in

a

whole

anxious

day

-

so

we

could

work

,

and

as

the

years

went

by

,

we

should

open

up

new

ways

,

and

display

far

chambers

that

are

still

dark

,

glimpsed

only

as

a

void

beyond

fissures

in

the

rock

.

And

lights

,

Legolas

!

We

should

make

lights

,

such

lamps

as

once

shone

in

Khazad-dûm

;

and

when

we

wished

we

would

drive

away

the

night

that

has

lain

there

since

the

hills

were

made

;

and

when

we

desired

rest

,

we

would

let

the

night

return

.

'

'

You

move

me

,

Gimli

,

'

said

Legolas

.

'

I

have

never

heard

you

speak

like

this

before

.

Almost

you

make

me

regret

that

I

have

not

seen

these

caves

.

Come

!

Let

us

make

this

bargain-if

we

both

return

safe

out

of

the

perils

that

await

us

,

we

will

journey

for

a

while

together

.

You

shall

visit

Fangorn

with

me

,

and

then

I

will

come

with

you

to

see

Helm

's

Deep

.

'

'

That

would

not

be

the

way

of

return

that

I

should

choose

,

'

said

Gimli

.

'

But

I

will

endure

Fangorn

,

if

I

have

your

promise

to

come

back

to

the

caves

and

share

their

wonder

with

me

.

'

'

You

have

my

promise

,

'

said

Legolas

.

'

But

alas

!

Now

we

must

leave

behind

both

cave

and

wood

for

a

while

:

See

!

We

are

coming

to

the

end

of

the

trees

.

How

far

is

it

to

Isengard

,

Gandalf

?

'

'

About

fifteen

leagues

,

as

the

crows

of

Saruman

make

it

.

'

said

Gandalf

:

'

five

from

the

mouth

of

Deeping-coomb

to

the

Fords

:

and

ten

more

from

there

to

the

gates

of

Isengard

.

But

we

shall

not

ride

all

the

way

this

night

.

'

'

And

when

we

come

there

,

what

shall

we

see

?

'

asked

Gimli

.

'

You

may

know

,

but

I

can

not

guess

.

'

'

I

do

not

know

myself

for

certain

,

'

answered

the

wizard

.

'

I

was

there

at

nightfall

yesterday

,

but

much

may

have

happened

since

.

Yet

I

think

that

you

will

not

say

that

the

journey

was

in

vain

-

not

though

the

Glittering

Caves

of

Aglarond

be

left

behind

.
