that was very hasty

[@DoubleADwarf]

Hoom, Hrm.
Very hasty, indeed. Very hasty.

[@elenamartel1822]

His brain worked so fast that he wasn't able to speak slower, haha.

[@erinlogan182]

@@elenamartel1822 Try slowing the speed to 0.75. I think the recording got sped up some how. Sounds so much better a little slower.

[@blakemorris2328]

@@erinlogan182 I have this on vinyl. This is the same speed.

[@joaopedromarquesini1792]

I'm pretty sure it's sped up

[@Gigas0101]

Considering the description of the battle, "With doom we come" was right.

Here you can find out what the canonical pronunciation of "Isengard" is!

[@lordoftherings999]

Tolkien is canonically the god of literature, poetry, rhyming, language-creation, imagination, description and anything else falling in that field.
Ent’s song / poetry is a meager but immense example of his Skill.

"The trees quivered and bent as if a gust had struck them." Mastery of the written word.

[@frostghost75_6]

Imagine the British singing this when they pushed the German lines in WW1

[@tinobemellow]

Probably in his mind while he was writing it.

[@mikeh2351]

This is incredible

[@erikkreem3584]

My favourite chapter in LOTR!

[@acezar2644]

absolutely fantastic

[@Zomfoo]

Slow down, John!

[@summerwind4590]

I can imagine this from a British tommy out of ww1. So fast it becomes a slang in a way.
