JRR Tolkien quote graphic by Books on the Wall

This quote comes from the poem, “All That Is Gold Does Not Glitter,” written by J.R.R. Tolkien for his Lord of the Rings trilogy.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

J.R.R. Tolkein, “All That Is Gold Does Not Glitter”
