...He (Frodo) was so distressed that he turned back; but at that moment a clear call came rippling down. There on the hill-brow she (the fair lady Goldberry) stood beckoning to them: her hair was flying loose, and as it caught the sun it shone and shimmered...
...they (the Hobbits) took a deep draught of the air, and felt that a skip and a few stout strides would bear them wherever they wished...
The charm of this classic shines exactly from its focus on the small people, the Hobbits. How merry and timid folk they are, and how involving into grander scenes brought changes subtle and curious.
