The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

“What has roots that nobody sees, is taller than trees, up up it goes, and yet never grows. –Mountain”
.
“Thirty white horses on a red hill, first they clamp, then they stamp, then they stand still. –Teeth”
.
“Voiceless it cries, Windless flutters, Toothless bites, Mouthless mutters. –Wind”
.
“It cannot be seen, cannot be felt, cannot be heard, cannot be smelt, it lies behind stars, and under hills, and empty holes it fills, it comes first and follows after, ends life and kills laughter. –Dark”
.
“This thing all things devours
Birds, beasts, trees, and flowers
Gnaws iron and bites steel, Grinds hard stones into mill,
Stays kings, ruins towns, And beats high mountains down. –Time”
