“Cupio non debuisse evenire in meo tempore,”
dixit Frodo.
“Cupio quoque,” dixit Gandalphus; “et cupiunt
quoque omnes, qui talibus in temporibus vivunt. Hoc tamen non est eorum
decidere. Solum est nostri decidere quid faciamus temporibus datis.”
“I wish it need not have happened in my
time,” said Frodo.
“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who
live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to
decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
