For LOBELIA SACKVILLE-BAGGINS, as a PRESENT;' on a case of silver spoons… Bilbo believed that she had acquired a good many of his spoons, while he was away on his former journey. Lobelia knew that quite well. When she arrived later in the day, she took the point at once, but she also took the spoons. ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Lobelia Sackville Baggins quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien
If more people valued home, above gold, this world would be a merrier place... ~ Thorin Oakenshield
Lobelia Sackville Baggins quotes by Thorin Oakenshield
Mr. Baggins was still officially their expert burglar and investigator. If he liked to risk a light, that was his affair. They would wait in the tunnel for his report. ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Lobelia Sackville Baggins quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien
Still, no gardener would be a gardener if he did not live in hope. ~ Vita Sackville-West
Lobelia Sackville Baggins quotes by Vita Sackville-West
And suddenly first one and then another began to sing as they played, deep-throated singing of the dwarves in the deep places of their ancient homes; and this is like a fragment of their song, if it can be like their song without their music. [...]As they sang the hobbit felt the love of beautiful things made by hands and by cunning and by magic moving through him, a fierce and jealous love, the desire of the hearts of dwarves. Then something Tookish woke up inside him, and he wished to go and see the great mountains, and hear the pine-trees and the waterfalls, and explore the caves, and wear a sword instead of a walking-stick. He looked out of the window. The stars were out in a dark sky above the trees. He thought of the jewels of the dwarves shining in dark caverns. Suddenly in the wood beyond The Water a flame leapt up - probably somebody lighting a wood-fire-and he thought of plundering dragons settling on his quiet Hill and kindling it all to flames. He shuddered; and very quickly he was plain Mr. Baggins of Bag-End, Under-Hill, again. He got up trembling. ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Lobelia Sackville Baggins quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien
Nothing and no one in the world could kill the love I have for you. I have surrendered my whole individuality, the very essence of my being to you. I have given you my body time after time to treat as you pleased. All the hoardings of my imagination I have laid bare to you. There isn't a recess in my brain into which you haven't penetrated. I have clung to you and caressed you and slept with you and I would like to tell the whole world that I clamour for you. You are my lover and I am your mistress, and kingdoms and empires and governments have tottered and succumbed before now to that mighty combination
the most powerful in the world. ~ Violet Trefusis
Lobelia Sackville Baggins quotes by Violet Trefusis
There is a bench in the back of my garden shaded by Virginia creeper, climbing roses, and a white pine where I sit early in the morning and watch the action. Light blue bells of a dwarf campanula drift over the rock garden just before my eyes. Behind it, a three-foot stand of aconite is flowering now, each dark blue cowl-like corolla bowed for worship or intrigue: thus its common name, monkshood. Next to the aconite, black madonna lilies with their seductive Easter scent are just coming into bloom. At the back of the garden, a hollow log, used in its glory days for a base to split kindling, now spills white cascade petunias and lobelia.

I can't get enough of watching the bees and trying to imagine how they experience the abundance of, say, a blue campanula blosssom, the dizzy light pulsing, every fiber of being immersed in the flower. ...

Last night, after a day in the garden, I asked Robin to explain (again) photosynthesis to me. I can't take in this business of _eating light_ and turning it into stem and thorn and flower...

I would not call this meditation, sitting in the back garden. Maybe I would call it eating light. Mystical traditions recognize two kinds of practice: _apophatic mysticism_, which is the dark surrender of Zen, the Via Negativa of John of the Cross, and _kataphatic mysticism_, less well defined: an openhearted surrender to the beauty of creation. Maybe Francis of Assissi was, on the whole, a kataphatic mystic, as was Thér ~ Mary Rose O'Reilley
Lobelia Sackville Baggins quotes by Mary Rose O'Reilley
How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand ... there is no going back? There are some things that time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep.. that have taken hold. ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Lobelia Sackville Baggins quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien
There had been no moments when she could differentiate and say: Then, at such a moment, I love him; and again, Then, at such another, I loved him not. The stress had been constant. her love for him had been a straight black line drawn right through her life. It had hurt her, it had damaged her, it had diminished her, but she had been unable to curve away from it. ~ Vita Sackville-West
Lobelia Sackville Baggins quotes by Vita Sackville-West
We could never have hit it off for long. There was never anything but love to keep us together. ~ Vita Sackville-West
Lobelia Sackville Baggins quotes by Vita Sackville-West
In his early days at University, he'd been too green to realize winning debates, even private ones, would lose him friends. ~ T. Baggins
Lobelia Sackville Baggins quotes by T. Baggins
I know I don't look old, but I'm beginning to feel it in my heart ... I need a holiday. A very long holiday. And I don't expect I shall return. ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Lobelia Sackville Baggins quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien
I am old, Gandalf. I don't look it, but I am beginning to feel it in my heart of hearts. Well-preserved indeed! Why, I feel all thin, sort of stretched, if you know what I mean: like butter that has been scraped over too much bread. That can't be right. I need a change, or something. ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Lobelia Sackville Baggins quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien
Your time may come. Do not be too sad, Sam. You cannot be always torn in two. You will have to be one and whole, for many years. You have so much to enjoy and to be, and to do. ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Lobelia Sackville Baggins quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien
It is dreadful how I miss you, and everything that everybody says seems flat and stupid. ~ Vita Sackville-West
Lobelia Sackville Baggins quotes by Vita Sackville-West
His ordeal has stripped away every bit of himself and leaves him feeling completely exposed to his Enemy. He has no way to know when the next full-scale attack will come, only that it will and that he cannot hide or protect himself from it.
Yet even in Frodo's darkness, with the fiery Ring as the only illumination he senses, there is still deep union between him and God. Evil continually forces its way into the hobbit's soul, but God is already there to strengthen him in his struggle to keep the demonic power from overwhelming him completely. As Frodo burns upon the kindled wheel, he becomes a candle set alight by both Light and Dark, a figure 'clothed in flame' (LOTR, 890), as Sam saw by the red light in the Tower chamber. The combination of this torment, God's love for him, and his own love for his world consume him in 'a holy sacrifice, truly pleasing to God' (Rom. 12:1). ~ Anne Marie Gazzolo
Lobelia Sackville Baggins quotes by Anne Marie Gazzolo
Travel is in sad case. It is uncomfortable, it is expensive; it is a source of annoyance to our friends, and of loneliness to ourselves. ~ Vita Sackville-West
Lobelia Sackville Baggins quotes by Vita Sackville-West
Yes, yes, my dear sir - and I do know your name, Mr. Bilbo Baggins. ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Lobelia Sackville Baggins quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien
Why O why did I ever leave my hobbit-hole? said poor Mr. Baggins, bumping up and down on Bombur's back. ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Lobelia Sackville Baggins quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien
Dittany hadn't lived in Lobelia Falls all her life without coming to realize that walls do in fact have ears and every little bird is a stool pigeon at heart. ~ Alisa Craig
Lobelia Sackville Baggins quotes by Alisa Craig
Growth is exciting; growth is dynamic and alarming. ~ Vita Sackville-West
Lobelia Sackville Baggins quotes by Vita Sackville-West
Laughter is ever young, whereas tragedy, except the very highest of all, quickly becomes haggard. ~ Margaret Sackville
Lobelia Sackville Baggins quotes by Margaret Sackville
Gavin turned us to face Josh, a satisfied grin springing up when he noticed the condition of Josh's clothes.
"Thanks for the last-minute invitation, man." Josh chuckled, patting Gavin on the shoulder. "Shall I do the honors, Mr. Suave?"
"Sure thing, Frodo Baggins. By the way, I hear the Shire has impeccable dinner parties this time of year." The corners of Gavin's lips twitched and his eyebrows shot up as he gestured to a food stain of some sort near the collar of Josh's white shirt.
Josh's chin shot down to follow Gavin's amusement and he quickly tried to wipe away the crumbs. "Yeah, well ... you know how we hobbits like to eat. ~ Rachael Wade
Lobelia Sackville Baggins quotes by Rachael Wade
II worshipped dead men for their strength, forgetting I was strong. ~ Vita Sackville-West
Lobelia Sackville Baggins quotes by Vita Sackville-West
Frodo: If you ask it of me, I will give you the One Ring. ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Lobelia Sackville Baggins quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien
I wonder,' said Frodo. 'It's my doom, I think, to go to that Shadow yonder, so that a way will be found. But will good or evil show it to me? ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Lobelia Sackville Baggins quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien
Tools have their own integrity ... ~ Vita Sackville-West
Lobelia Sackville Baggins quotes by Vita Sackville-West
I loved you when love was Spring, and May, Loved you when summer deepened into June, and now when autumn yellows all the leaves ... ~ Vita Sackville-West
Lobelia Sackville Baggins quotes by Vita Sackville-West
A flowerless room is a soulless room, to my way of thinking; but even a solitary little vase of a living flower may redeem it. ~ Vita Sackville-West
Lobelia Sackville Baggins quotes by Vita Sackville-West
Frodo: Mordor. I hope the others find a safer route.
Sam: Strider will look after them.
Frodo: I don't suppose we'll ever see them again.
Sam: We may yet, Mr. Frodo. We may. ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Lobelia Sackville Baggins quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien
The morning came, pale and clammy. Frodo woke up first, and found that a tree-root had made a hole in his back, and that his neck was stiff. "Walking for pleasure! Why didn't I drive?" he thought, as he usually did at the beginning of an expedition. "And all my beautiful feather beds are sold to the Sackville-Bagginses! These tree-roots would do them good." He stretched. "Wake up, hobbits!" he cried. "It's a beautiful morning."
"What's beautiful about it?" said Pippin, peering over the edge of his blanket with one eye. "Sam! Get breakfast ready for half-past nine! Have you got the bath-water hot?"
Sam jumped up, looking rather bleary. "No, sir, I haven't, sir!" he said.
Frodo stripped the blankets from Pippin and rolled him over, and then walked off to the edge of the wood. ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
