About This Quote

This quote is from "The Lord of the Rings," by J.R.R. Tolkien, in which the character Bilbo Baggins finds Gandalf the Grey at the Bridge of Khazad-dûm to break the Fellowship of the Ring. Gandalf explains that he has sung this song before, when he stood upon the Bridge during his travels with Elves. The Elves could hear him there, but he could not hear them.
