“Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.”

― Gandalf

Hier das Zitat im Tolkienschen Original:

> Yet it is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till.

Die deutsche Übersetzung wird der Sprache leider nicht gerecht – auch wenn man zweifellos leichter versteht, was er eigentlich sagen will 😅

Aus Tolkiens "Herr der Ringe". Leo XIV. zitiert Gandalf in neuem Lehrschreiben.

Ist Leo XIV. ein Fantasy-Nerd? In seinem ersten Lehrschreiben zitiert der Papst auch Gandalf aus Tolkiens "Herr der Ringe". Offenbar verbindet Zauberer und Kirchenoberhaupt mehr als nur die Kleiderfarbe.

did anyone want to hear a #Shakespeare speech castigating nativist cruelty against #immigration?

of course such a speech exists: bigoted malice against #immigrants is not new. the wicked have long yoked the ignorant and indecent for power

it refers to a real event: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_May…

it is called "The Strangers' Case" speech

from the play "Sir Thomas More"

here delivered by #IanMcKellen from memory
