when i was young before the precious came . it was a great battle . Tall men with longs swords , and terrible eleves and orcs shrieking ....
the dead marches , yes , yes that is their name , not look in when the candles are lit .
I know not who they are ; but i through i saw there Men and Elves and orcs beside them !
they fought on the plain for days and months at the Blacks Gates . bUT marshes have grown since then , swallowed up the graves ; always creeping , creeping....
Who knows ? Smeagol doesn't know . You cannot reach them . Only shapes to see , perhaps , not to touch . no precious ! All dead.
yes yes all dead , all rotten . elves ans men and orcs the dead marches , there was a great battle long ago ....
But that is an age and more ago . The dead can't really there ! Is it some devilry hatched in the Dark Land ?
