| 00:36:49 |
00:36:50 |
Círdan
|
Do you not wish to live in beauty?
|
| 00:36:51 |
00:36:54 |
Elrond
|
Master Círdan, I cannot trust these Rings.
|
| 00:36:54 |
00:36:57 |
Elrond
|
What is beauty, when it is born, in part, of evil?
|
| 00:36:58 |
00:36:59 |
Círdan
|
No less beautiful.
|
| 00:37:01 |
00:37:02 |
Elrond
|
Not to me.
|
| 00:37:02 |
00:37:05 |
Círdan
|
Would you cast Rúmil's verses into the flame,
|
| 00:37:05 |
00:37:07 |
Círdan
|
because the poet was a drunkard?
|
| 00:37:13 |
00:37:14 |
Elrond
|
Rúmil was a drunkard?
|
| 00:37:16 |
00:37:19 |
Círdan
|
Do not ask of Daeron.
|
| 00:37:20 |
00:37:21 |
Círdan
|
Insufferable.
|
| 00:37:23 |
00:37:24 |
Círdan
|
But a voice,
|
| 00:37:24 |
00:37:29 |
Círdan
|
a voice that could make the very sun weep tears of fire.
|
| 00:37:32 |
00:37:34 |
Círdan
|
Judge the work,
|
| 00:37:36 |
00:37:38 |
Círdan
|
and leave judgment concerning those who wrought it
|
| 00:37:38 |
00:37:41 |
Círdan
|
to the judge who sees all things.
|
| 00:37:41 |
00:37:43 |
Elrond
|
That feels impossible.
|
| 00:37:45 |
00:37:47 |
Círdan
|
It is called humility.
|
| 00:37:47 |
00:37:49 |
Círdan
|
And it is difficult for most.
|
| 00:37:49 |
00:37:52 |
Círdan
|
But it is the truest form of sight.
|
| 00:38:03 |
00:38:07 |
Elrond
|
I wish I could know your peace.
|
| 00:38:09 |
00:38:10 |
Círdan
|
You can.
|
| 00:38:17 |
00:38:20 |
Círdan
|
We do not yet fully understand these Rings.
|
| 00:38:21 |
00:38:24 |
Círdan
|
But look at the power they exert over every form of life.
|
| 00:38:31 |
00:38:35 |
Círdan
|
In Sauron's hands, they could work an evil beyond reckoning,
|
| 00:38:35 |
00:38:38 |
Círdan
|
dominating the minds and wills of all.
|
| 00:38:39 |
00:38:43 |
Círdan
|
This is why they must remain in the hands of Elves.
|
| 00:38:45 |
00:38:49 |
Círdan
|
You are wise to fear this power, Elrond.
|
| 00:38:51 |
00:38:56 |
Círdan
|
But do not let that fear blind you to the ways it can be used for good.
|
| 00:38:59 |
00:39:02 |
Círdan
|
For it is not your enemy, that bears these Rings...
|
| 00:39:04 |
00:39:08 |
Círdan
|
But your most trusted friends.
|
| 00:39:08 |
00:39:12 |
Círdan
|
If you believe they have strayed, do not abandon them,
|
| 00:39:12 |
00:39:17 |
Círdan
|
but rather open your eyes and guide them...
|
| 00:39:18 |
00:39:22 |
Círdan
|
Before the darkness spreads across Middle-earth,
|
| 00:39:22 |
00:39:24 |
Círdan
|
and blinds us all.
